View all 24 ReflectionsOh how I remember meeting you at school at Northside, and what a crush I had on you. I ended up moving in the fall of 10th grade. Although we kept in touch through the years, I was devastated to learn of your accident. You were very special to me and I have never forgotten you. Lots of love and hugs. You are the reason I chose a career in Nursing.
