An astronomer told me once that they fought for me to be admitted to their PhD program, but I was rejected. They said that every time I succeed, they celebrate. I just want folks to know that there are people fighting for you behind the scenes who celebrate with you at every win.

Aw, I'm sorry to miss you. I hope you feel better!
