Thank you,    thank you for soothing my mother's tears when her husband left for work. Thank you,    thank you for being my sisters' first friend. Thank you,     thank you for giving my dad a chance even though you were abused by men in the past. Thank you,     thank you for accepting another dog in the family at your old age and loving her. Thank you,      thank you for alerting my mother when I had my concussion and then tending to me ever since. Thank you for being you; one of the best friends anybody would be lucky to have.
