...Well this is another big one.

​Austin, aka, Guts. You've been a big part of my, and everyone's lives. We adore you, love you, and cherish you. When I first met you on the forums, I always thought you were this big, and very importantly awesome guy that everyone loves. Someone whom I never would get the chance to be friends with normally. However, after meeting you, and talking to you privately, I've come to know you not just as a man, but as a mature individual.

As we went through the motions over Skype, and I got to know you better. After our characters interacted well with each other in an RP, I was dying to get to know you. And holy crap was I happy to have done so, all of what you do is astounding and profound. Every single one of your characters that you make, and every single idea that you have, is worth reading about, even if it does take 7 or 8 years to create.

But seriously, you're a very mature, strong, able, determined, and loving person. You're like the perfect big brother or perfect dad. And I mean it when I say that I hope you get your wish to have kids one day. You'll be the best influence I have ever seen.

​Along with that, I also applaud you. You put up with so many different things through your entire life. I want to personally say that I am proud of you Austin. You've come a long way over the course of your life, and deserve to be where you are now.

​There's literally so many different aspects about you that I can go on and on about. And I will continue a bit more.

​Austin, you're a very smart guy as well. And to see someone like you able to handle all of the responsibilities of life, and be able to withstand such hardships, and overcome them....despite all the stuff at home...despite all the stuff at work...you keep pushing.

​It...it brings a tear to my eye almost. To know that I am friend s with someone so....caring...kind...mature....real. You always have wise words to offer. You always look out for us. And you always do your best to talk to us when you can.

​And that....that Austin....is why you're a damn good man. Happy birthday bro, sorry this is late.
