Last year, out of complete circumstance,  greenendorf (Who drew this, of course) came all the way from the green British Isles to the painted skies of Arizona. Since that time I've had the opportunity to spend a few months at a time with him.

In that time we've had adventures, growth, change, and the benefit of each other's company. Not every moment has been rosy, nor every interaction crystal, but there have been many moments besides which wouldn't have been the same alone.

In truth, we're almost irreconcilably different, like beings from two completely different worlds. But with care, patience, and effort, our differences have done a lot to make both our worlds quite a bit bigger.
