Some of these people may not have seen you surpass everything for 15 years, @brendonurie but I have ... and you have persevered despite all of it. Through all your trials and tribulations you’ve taken control of your life and your craft time and time again. I have witnessed it.
You are incredibly talented, incredibly kind, and above all... you immensely love your job and have never shown anything but how grateful you are for the opportunities you’ve been given in life.
Brendon, you are a force that cannot be suppressed, and I will not be told you are anything less than that. Your incredible strength and drive has taken this band to the highest of its heights. It is true... the bigger they are, the harder they fall... but you will get back up.
You will not allow these people who don’t know you, to dictate how you feel about yourself and you will get up and you will come back to us. We are waiting for you and we love you very much. Please take your time and take care of yourself.
