I’ll always remember meeting you for the first time… It took at least 5 or more seconds just to raise my eyes to reach a gaze to yours! Admittedly, I was at first intimidated by the greatness of your presence but I have come to know you as one of the most gentle, wise, and caring men I’ve met. Your dedication to my recovery will remain with me always as it was the work you put in to making my life explode with possibility that has lifted me to where I am today. You are my big teddy bear, and my healer. Thank you Yuri…
