I wish I could say I was going to Fireside. It sounds like an awesome adventure, and maybe one day i’ll come there anyways. Right now however, I can’t go. When I left New York, I came back because of my dad, after learning he had cancer. I thought I’d be able to take better care of him if I was closer to him, rather than in New York, and I have been able to. Right now, I can’t let myself go to Alaska, because even though he has had several ups, he has also had several down, and knowing he’s just getting more worse than better, I can’t bring him with me because honestly, i’m not sure if I can take care of him there. It’s been an amazing experience getting to work with all of you, especially the kitchen staff, and even those who I have disagreed with. I want to say how thankful I am for what I have gotten, especially thankful to Biff. I hope that everyone who is going to Alaska with him succeeds and that Fireside, Alaska will be an amazing city. I’ll be sure to visit sometime, there’s no doubt about that. Good luck to everyone.
