"Since Alex passed, life has felt different. It's been a lot to process, and I know I haven't been fully present. I believe in different ways, we've all been trying to find our rhythm again.

I just want to say thank you – for the patience, the understanding, and for holding things down.

Now it's time to find our feet again, get focused, and get back to work. There's a lot ahead of us, and I'm ready. Let's go."
