Loading Docs 2016 - Same But Different

I want to be understanding and I want to support him where I can, so just giving it a chance to see what happens, how things evolve. It will be a different relationship but I’m sure we will still have a relationship.

– Neil

I was afraid of losing him as a friend. We’ve done a lot as two men together, and I’m not a man anymore so what does that mean for us?

– Byron

I do not trust Byron the way I used to, I would not tie on to the end of a rope with him at the moment.
