*You hear footsteps behind you, along with a lighthearted chuckle.*
I agree.
*Walks up beside you, hands in my pockets.*
Try to keep in mind that it's always an uphill battle though.
You've still got a lot ahead of you.

You've been helpful every step of the way, friend. Without you, there's a chance that this might not have happened.

*gestures to the good progress*

I owe you a great debt of gratitude.
