After the session, I stepped outside to hugs, thumbs-up, and warm words from friends and Richard. “You did great, Tom!” someone called, lifting my spirits. The courtroom, with all its tension, now felt small compared to the broader implications for my future. Richard’s firm handshake reminded me I wasn’t alone, and the support of those around me became a buoy in waters that had once felt overwhelmingly turbulent. That warmth seeped in, a tangible reassurance that I still had people rooting for me.
