Thanks to you, I think that I will never look at another 98 Degrees song in the same way again. That song we share will always be playing in my mind for whenever I listen to it, I am reminded of the months and months of friendship that we shared. Ever since PE 10 together, I would say? I'm not sure. You have shown me many sides of life and you have always brought happiness into my day everytime that I am sad. Your beautiful voice should not be wasted in cheering me up when I am sad, for you know that the feeling will eventually pass and I will cheer up. But, I must tell you that I truly do feel blessed every time that you sing to me, for it truly is a blessing to find a friend who will sing to you when you are sad. If I could sing as wonderfully as you, I would sing to you for those days when you are down, but I know if I sang, it would make you feel even more sad and you would probably get a headache from the horrible sound of my singing. But, anyway, I thank you for blessing me with the opportunity to have been your friend all these months/years. I hope we will always continue to be great friends. Otherwise, who else is going to put the final touch on my drawings? Who will remind me of the bowtie? The bowtie, Holly. The bowtie!!!! Always know that I will be supportive of whatever you want to do, even if my support is radiating from thousands of miles away! I'll miss you after graduation, and my dear umbrella twin, this following poem is for YOU from your umbrella twin!! I luv you lots always, forever and a day.

            My Umbrella

An umbrella is something that shields one from the rain
     You are an umbrella who shields me from my pain
An umbrella is something that is made from a smile
     You are an umbrella whose smile is totally worth the while
An umbrella is something that will block out with wind made storms
     You are an umbrella who stops that gust of air before it even forms
An umbrella is something that protects its user from the unbearable
     You are an umbrella who I must keep; you are unshareable
An umbrella is something that will act as a cane against the soft land
     You are an umbrella who has always helped me to stand
An umbrella is something that fights battles that cannot be measured
     You are an umbrella who acts as my hero; one who will be treasured
An umbrella is something that can be folded away
     You are an umbrella who, across the country, with me will stay
An umbrella is something that will keep its user nice and dry
     You are an umbrella who makes me smile, so I never cry
An umbrella is something that gets thrown away when it grows old
     You are not that kind of umbrella; you will never be sold.
     You are not that kind of umbrella; to me, if you are not of diamond, you are of gold.
