Dear Cynthia, When I think of you, I am reminded of your kindness, generosity, and good heart. It's hard to believe that it's been 22 years since we first met. and what a 22 years it's been. We have both grown as individuals and as friends. You have taught me to be more forgiving of myself and others. You've encouraged me to be more social when I want to retreat into my shell. You've put faith in my creative spirit even when I thought it had disappeared. Your mind is agile and your interests, plentiful. You've created a rich life for yourself – always improving your skills, reading new books, getting back into swimming, keeping your home, making music, playing Mahjong, traveling, and making time for your family and friends. You've made yourself available for an emergency housecall when I was in pain and regularly make soup and goody drops. You are truly a gift and we appreciate you. Sending you peace, love, and light, Victoria and Tim
