Luke has my utmost RESPECT. I don’t know who he is, or what he’s doing right now, but the image he reflects is that of hope in humanity that I hold deeply and indeed in my heart. Thanks for the inspiration you provide me to be a better human being.

[@ianbrooks4031]

He's such a level headed, respectful individual, likely not only because of what he's been through, but also because of the sort of person he is to be able to handle it. Imagine talking to Katie Perry for the first time ever and having the head to be able to try and comfort her, Luke has so much sympathy, his parents should be proud!

[@yessikavillarreal361]

When Colin was explaining that all his neighbours were basically family, i got so jealous. You know how you always want what you didn't have, each of my grandparents was born on a different continent, my family couldn't be any more distanced from each other. I want to know what it would be like to only have to cross the street & not have to get on a plane to a different country to see my aunt's, uncles & cousins. 😆 I even have 1st cousins that have a different mother tongue than i do.
