[00:09.95]The other day I got an email
[00:11.61]I almost didn't read it
[00:12.75]But something caught my eye right
[00:14.18]Before I could delete it
[00:15.17]It was bold and underlined
[00:16.34]"Please Read" was the title
[00:17.84]Followed by "Jake you are my idol"
[00:19.71]It said and I quote

[00:34.02]That I thought would be my last
[00:35.42]However the fight was tough
[00:36.79]And the battle was long
[00:37.79]But I felt strong
