You told the storm that it couldn't last and now it has passed. SHOUT ABOUT IT!!! You put up a great fight... justlike you did when we first became friends. That friendship has turned into a sisterly bond that will never be bro-ken nor forgotten. As always when I come into town I'll need my hair done. So I'll see you up there!
