We are all flawed brother. What you went through is just one example of what it means to be human. On the flip side, part of being human is learning from past mistakes, which you have come to this point. As I mentioned to you via text, I am happy and excited for your future endeavors. In a way, you are being liberated not just from your drug and alcohol addictions, you are being liberated from the invisible chains that have been bestowed upon us DREAMers.

No longer will you spend another minute worrying about filling out paperwork or waiting for legislation that may never come, just to simply live a normal life. You have stripped power from the politicians who play with people's lives and taken control - you are in the driver seat brother. You are an inspiration to us DREAMers, who are too afraid to take the leap and return to our home countries. I will be rooting for you and I have no doubt that you will utilize your skills and experience to make a better life in Brazil. You're a good person and I am glad we got to interact outside of this forum. You made me laugh one too many times.

Gonna miss you brother (No Homo) and best of luck to you!
