I'm off home this Saturday.
Need to sort out my career, which has been put on hold for over 2 years because of this trip.
Had I known my personal life here would have taken the turn it has over the past 2 months I doubtI'd have come.
The missus is staying on here for another few months, but we've agreed that it would be best if I left earlier.
Anyway, I did what I thought best at the time. And if it hasnt worked out for the best, I can still say that this has been a tremendously bittersweet year for me.
This year has seen some of the best memories of my life, and some of my worst. But in a way that's what being a Liverpool fan is like, isn't it.
There've been a lot of people who I owe so much to over the past year, and so many new friends I've made, all of whom were 'Innernet buddies' turned real buddies. Even though many of yiz never knew me from Adam, in some ways its been like we've been mates for years.
I want to thank everyone who's helped so much; from helping me get to games, to tickets, to feeding and housing me, to giving me rides, to giving me precious shirts, to getting my drinks,to putting up with so much nonsense from me over the months. Can't really put into words how much it's meant to me to have people help me feel less alone. I'd like to get something to show these people how much I appreciate this, but financial impecuniosity is a bitch. Pretty much wiped out after a year.
But I hope they know, and if I havent told them enough, I apologise. Things are pretty much in a whirl for me now, and I'm not going to mention people's names now because I'm liable to get a bit emo about it.
I hope they know. BUt if they don't I'll tell them when things look better.
Thank yiz all.
Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
