In a youth spent carefree and wild, an accident brought all the good times to an abrupt end. He drifted through high school, strange in temperament, sleeping in the classroom by day and studying by candlelight at night, turning in blank exams and doing everything he could to release every last bit of energy in him. As the winter of his life drew ever closer, he met a gentle warmth amid the cold.
To have you through the winter is the greatest blessing of my life.
