Almost cryed a bit today

So when i checked Ace's blog i found this there:

The real point behind it is to thank a bunch of people:

• Ms. Dr. Kneidel: For sparking my interest in insects and reptiles at a young age.
• Mr. Dr. Kneidel: For tolerating my constant annoyance and urging my interests in insects and reptiles.
• Also thanks to the entire Kneidel family for my trip to Costa Rica, what little I remember...
• Dr. Menhenick of UNCC: For helping me remember why I got into studying bugs.
• Don Seriff: For showing me that my passion for animals has practical applications.
• And most of all, to Laura Price, for helping me regain the drive and passion I had lost, and reviving my childhood dream of working with reptiles and insects.

It almost made me cry, very touching :')
