I don’t always give him the respect he deserves, as sometimes (err, often) I talk about how I want to fuck him and things like that but truly nothing makes me happier than seeing him play hockey. I haven’t yet seen him play in person but I know someday I will and I can’t wait. He’s going to have a very long and successful career so I’m excited that I get to follow him the rest of the way.

He’s only two months older than me but he’s someone I look up to and admire. It’s too late for me to be as accomplished as he is at such a young age but ultimately I hope to do important things in my life, just like Jonathan.

He changed my life in a lot of ways, though. I’m not the same person I was a year ago…even six months ago and I owe that to him. I’m much more confident in myself and I believe once again that I can do something with my life.

Jonathan, thank you for everything.
