To Carla

You will not see this, Carla, because you don't even know about this part of my life. But I am so blessed by who you are in my life. And I will always be grateful for your wonderful and undeserved friendship.

I hold you so tightly now as you face the loss of your father and perhaps your mom too.

You are my hero and I wish I could be stronger for you now, but all I have to give you now is a Sheridanne long hug, my sincere tears of sympathy and all the love I have ever had for a true friend.
