I want you to know that you've made such a difference in my life with your warmth and kindness.

You have taken me into your house, into your arms, and into your life with a smile and total acceptance.

Thank you for your friendship and all the times when you've listened and understood.

Thank you for loving me as if I were your own.

Please know how much I love you and how much you really mean to me.
