I always have thought that was so admirable of when you made that choice and you fully commit instead of just like pretending that you were okay you waited until you knew you were okay and that you were willing to do that and you were very good at communicating that and I would say that was one of the biggest signs for a healthy relationship with TJ was he was communicating where he was at and how he felt, even though maybe it wasn't what I wanted to hear all the time.
