For Connie (Conolulu) my friend, For someone who always had a way with words, I'm finding it very hard to compose myself. This is the last thing I ever wanted for you. When I first learned of your cancer, it just killed me inside. Again, this is so heartbreaking to me. Over time, the memories will piece it all back together for me. What has happened in my life to me, isn't me. Please know that. Connie knew me like a book. One day, I will have to answer to you, please find it in your heart to forgive me. I will never forget you and the day we first connected on the Buffettnews forum. Even though my life has gone through many changes since then, the friendship and love I feel for you hasn't. Connie, thank you for being in my life. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for being my reason for living. Sail on Conolulu to a place where beach music is playing...and yes, pirates do cry. <3
You don't know how much you mean to me. I know I wasn't the best of friends. YOU were to me.
