He's ecstatic and feels like he's finally been vindicated.

This has been a four-year-long ordeal. To have this finally over with and to be vindicated, it was just overwhelming for him.

We finally got the monkey off our back. It feels good.

It's been a long two years, a long two years now, so like I'm vindicated, I feel vindicated I feel free,

It feels good to finally come out and get one because I hadn't gotten one yet.

We kept our composure. It feels good to come out on top - finally.
