It is refreshing to meet a mentor who truly understands the struggle of his student following him. A lot of mentors will explain the path but forget the pitfalls and frustrations they faced. Sometimes this causes a disconnect between mentor and student because, although the student is diligent and willing to improve, they face what to the mentor now seems like a molehill - to the student looms like a mountain but in actuality is more like a speed bump. So above all the things that we have to be grateful to you for... I just want to say an extra thank you for being a grounded and connected mentor.
