FULL OF APPRECIATION.
SO THANKFUL.
I AM HUMBLED.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST THIS
HAS ALL BEEN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM SITTING
HERE AT 38 YEARS OLD.
THIS HAS BEEN SO FAST, BUT I
CAN'T COMPLAIN.
THE JURY HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.
I'VE BEEN AT THIS A WHILE.
IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE COVERING
YOU.
I APPRECIATE IT.
ONE THING ABOUT YOU.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL.
YOUR HAIR WENT DOWN A LITTLE
BIT.
BUT YOU STILL LOOK GOOD.
YOU STILL DRESS OKAY.
ALL IS GOOD.
GOD BLESS.
THANK YOU.
