On June 6th, one of my best friends, Dayne C. Hammond, is moving to Idaho.
This year has been one of the most fulfilling and beautiful ones of my life, and I owe a lot of it to Dayne. When we met last summer, I knew it was the start of something miraculous. And it was. Dayne, you have no idea how much I love you, and how much of me is affected by you. You have been an inspiration to me in every way; you have made me see the good not only in other people, but also in myself. When I was down, you picked me up. When I was crying, you made me laugh. I hope you know how much you have touched my life and the lives of your other friends. I'm crying now for so many reasons. I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay here with us. With me. You are so wonderful and I am lucky to have you as a friend.
You always have a home here with me.
