**raises hand**
I still can't type a response to some of the things that were said of me because I keep getting all emotional every time I try.
It's so weird how you can build REAL relationships with people you meet online (or never technically "meet" at all). There are some folks here that I love as though I've known you all my life. Would do anything for 'em. Cry when they cry. Hurt when they hurt. Rejoice when they rejoice. Lose sleep praying for 'em. Would give 'em the shirt off my back. Just real love... and that trips me out... lol.
Anyway, Loopy is one of those people. I just LOVE my Loopy like a real brother. He's SO intelligent (and y'all know I love smart-but-not-arrogant folks). He's passionate (which I also love). He's funny, talented, kind, and REAL.
I love that he won't take back what he says when it's unpopular, but he's humble enough to say so when he's wrong. As he mentioned earlier in the thread, I LOVVVVE debating with him because in the end, it's always ALL LOVE. We can disagree respectfully, nobody's feelings get hurt, nobody has to question where the other is coming from. We just know it's all good.
Oh, and I love how transparent he is. I'll never forget the time he shared his testimony about his dad. I think it was that story that endeared me to him.
I love, love him... and can't wait for him to get to ATL in April. **hint, hint**
