Two of my dearest friends showed up in my life at a time of great change. They helped to ground me through the changes I faced. They also helped me grow into a more confident adult and were instrumental in preparing me for the future that would one day be mine. Melodie and Michelle, you are both more like sisters than friends. It is staggering to think this friendship has now lasted for forty years, and I look forward to many more!
