I don't know what brought this on, but you've been amazing. Yes, your activity isn't very high, but you're married and you're getting your masters, you have a life and you're busy and who can blame you for that? Certainly not me, Lyss. Not I, who has been with you here since the beginning. Literally. We practically joined the wiki together. You've proved time and time again how important and loved you are to the community. Because of that, I'm telling you that you have NOTHING to prove to us. You already have.

I know we've never been close but I've always seen you as someone I have a special bond with. Someone I'll always care for and support no matter what, and frankly, you've evolved to be someone I look up to. Someone I am so SO proud to say I know. I've watched you go through high school with your head held high. I watched your relationship with Evan flourish. I've watched you follow your dream and make a life for yourself. I'm so proud of you.

Lyss. You're incredible. Especially because of this, because while you hadn't needed to do this, you still did. You admitted that you can't serve the community even though it's clear you want to. We're never, EVER going to hold your personal life ahead of that.

Please keep the minister and head of house. You have no reason to give that up.
