THIS SUCKS!...IF YOU KNOW HER, YOU KNOW SHE IS A SPECIAL PERSON...SHE SEES THE WORLD THROUGH A DIFFERENT LIGHT!...SHE SEES THE GOOD IN EVERYTHING!...SHE HAS EFFECTED ME IN GOOD WAYS!...I'M GOING TO MISS HER ALOT! MORE THAN SHE EVEN KNOWS!...MARTHA AND I HAVE MADE A PACT TO NOT DISCUSS THE MOVE IN PERSON OR ON THE PHONE...WE JUST DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT...BUT I JUST HAD TO LET HER KNOW HOW I FEEL!
