He came to meet me, even though I'd told him he didn't have to. Even though - I can't stress this enough - he *genuinely didn't have to*. I wouldn't have been sad or annoyed if he didn't, it's not something I would ever expect.
But he did it anyway.
And it brought me so much joy.
The idea that someone would put themselves out just to cheer me on was really cool. Seeing him at the finish line was immense - it made me feel very loved and cared for.
