DEDICATION
For Tina,
While each passing day makes it harder and harder to remember your face,
I will never forgot those things that you taught me,
That helping others when I can,
That always wearing a smile,
Can make anyone, even me, a better person.
While you’re gone now,
The world is a better place for what you once were.
Despite our friendship having been brief,
It was a privilege to have known you.
