  6. Hello Nina I miss you so much. I appreciate everything you would do for me. From sharing your room with me growing up and always making sure I would have something to eat when my mom wouldn’t be around. You always treated me as your own and we would always be the first ones up in the morning talking about what’s going on in the crazy world is something I’m going to miss the most. Growing up I knew I was always gonna be afraid of this day. I just hope to be with you again soon. I love you Nina and please take care of me and the family.
