For my FA brother and good friend,  GollyGosh.

Family is a concept I take very seriously. By being in a family, you have an obligation to take care of your family members, to make sure they stay happy, to love them. Being in a family is a difficult task, but for those who not only take that challenge, but exceed it...The emotions people feel when they experience that dedication is immeasurable.

That’s where you come in, Golly. We are FA brothers, and as brothers, we are meant to take care of each other, to be there in our times of need. And believe me, in my times of need, you have always been there. I remember recently when I was feeling depressed, you left a comment on the journal which made my head do a somersault. What you said to make me see reason worked, and then some. Everything you said made me see. What you said cleared my head.

By just about every single means I can see, you are a true FA brother. But there’s more. What with my useless, hateful real life family, I honestly do see you as a real brother. Unlike my real life brother, I feel I could come on and talk to you, about anything whatsoever. You are a real brother to me, and I just hope that I’ve been as good a brother to you as you have to me.

To thank you, I made you this piece. I apologise for not being able to draw bigger characters very well: macro is something I’m yet practice, but you might get the impression that I’m going to give you a HUGE hug. I don’t know if it’s anything to do with the Tiger who made himself grow a bit behind you, but hey.

Thank you, Golly, for being a true brother to me, and an incredible friend.
