Ill miss this more than anything.
The mother of dragons chapter has taken up the whole of my adult life.
This woman has taken up the whole of my heart.
I just wish my darling dad was here now to see how far weve flown.
Without you there is no us.

A journey that, for me, started at 10am on Monday 19th of July 2010, he explained.
I know this because recently I found my rehearsal and prep schedule for season 1, week 1.
Im glad I kept this.
I met so many people that week who have come to mean so much to me.
Back then we couldnt have known the journey wed go on together.
I wouldnt swap that experience, or those people, for the world.
Enjoy the episode and thanks for everything.
