You gave Hurricane Carter something too few had given him previously: Acknowledgment, Respect, Kindness and Commitment. By giving him these honestly, freely and without pre-conditions, you acknowledged another's true value as a human being: Infinite.

Thank you for sharing with us, H2O Man. You make us feel special. Please know you are, too.
