i was so overwhelmed, so choked up with emotions. i could barely say anything without my heart sinking, without feeling it constricting; for once i felt so unprepared, a feeling that i knew should not be there at all -- & there you were, always ready to listen, ready to help me with open arms. you let me cry on your shoulder, wiped the tears away for me, saying it is alright, that it will be fine tomorrow. you picked up the pieces with me, taught me the right steps to take, encouraged me & said that it will be okay. you are one of the best things that have happened in my life. thank you so much, you are simply amazing.
