This was written for my wonderful friend, Anna, whose closeness to me is akin to a twin. When faced with the devastating news that she had cancer, I wrote this poem and brought it to the hospital as I felt I could not let a moment go by without ensuring that she knew how much our friendship means to me.

With love and courage, I am pleased to say that she successfully beat her cancer, and continues to be my caring and trusted friend to this day.
