I still miss Dr. Wilson so much. I have a tattoo that says "Go in the strength you have" with his initials under it. He made me believe I am good enough just as I am. I will always be grateful for him.

He was an extremely special man. He saved me when I thought there was no hope. I think of his words everyday. I've shared his wisdom with everyone I can. Extremely honored to have come into his sphere. He was truly a gift and one in a million. My heart goes out to those who are close to him. I'm so sorry for your pain.
