Helmut, you are my best friend -- the closest thing I've ever had to a brother. That is the truth I would proudly give my life for. When no one else was there, you always were. And I need that now more than ever. But in the end, this has to be your choice. Which means if I'm going to ask you to trust me -- then I have to show that I trust you.
