The amazing woman who serves it.
Friends that I only see once in a blue moon or with whom I only keep in touch through Facebook, but whom I love dearly nonetheless and whose love blesses me profoundly (and I hope they know it because I'm really hesitant to send them all a private message saying "I love you").
A beautiful young woman who said yes to dinner and a movie (Good Morning Vietnam!) almost 28 years ago and who has been my cheerleader, travelling companion, hiking partner and co-crafter of an amazing life ever since.
