Tonight I am going out to dinner with some gals to celebrate a very special friend's birthday. I have known her for about 16 years. She has lived near - she has lived far - but no matter where she has lived she has been there for me. 13 years ago when I was going through a serious health crisis she flew in to run my business while I recuperated.
Last weekend - when she learned of our most recent tale of woe she rushed over.
And I love her for that.
And I love her more for one more thing she did when she came over.
She remembered Michael.
Its been 10 years, but still she remembered his name.
God bless you Kuuipo.
