“Thank you so much to all of my family for every bit of support and encouragement. Lara, I can\u2019t imagine I was fun to live with at times and I am so grateful for the sacrifices you made for me throughout this! I don\u2019t think I made dinner for 10 weeks.”<\/p>\n

He concluded: “Finally, I\u2019ve been so overwhelmed with the support and comments I\u2019ve received throughout. From friends, colleagues, students and strangers, thank you all so much – you\u2019ve made this the best experience!”<\/p>\n
