From Renate

Johnny,

I'm sorry to hear you're depressed. Don't let those mean people get to you. There are so many out there who love you for who you are. You've got Angels all over the world. No matter what happens, we'll always support you.

You're a really special guy. You make us smile when we're down, you move us with your performances. We know it's been a very difficult season for you. But you'll show them all next year. You're the best skater out there.

Your artistry is unmatched. You light up the ice. You have the most beautiful jumping technique and when you're on, you're unbeatable. You said it yourself; there will be people that love you and people that hate you. And there's nothing I can do.

It's considered cool right now to send you nasty messages. But those haters don't even know you. They don't know a thing about figure skating. They're just jealous of your talent. You're beautiful in every single way. And don't let anyone tell you different.

We'll always love and support you. Never give up. Never surrender. We believe in you.

Love,
Renate
