For me, that person is Claire. We met when we were just ten years old, and in all the years since, she&rsquo;s become woven into the fabric of my life in ways I can&rsquo;t fully explain. She&rsquo;s imprinted in my DNA—not literally, but in every way that matters. Today, I needed to sit down and make this video about her because some things are too important to leave unsaid. Some people shape the path you walk without you even realizing it&rsquo;s happening. I&rsquo;m still processing exactly what I wanted to convey, but I knew I had to try. This video is my attempt to honor that impact and acknowledge how deeply certain connections can mark us.</p>
