Today I look back at what I’ve achieved over the past 2 decades and I don’t think it would’ve been possible without you as my driving force. Being able to mentor and guide you is one of my greatest pleasures. We are living in uncertain times, with no promise of tomorrow and some people die without ever getting to really express their feelings, I don’t want to be one of those people,” part of the caption reads.
