My days of living in New York are slowing passing me by. Today, I had my first emotional experience saying goodbye to someone i love. Someone who showed me what real love is all about. Madison Elizabeth, my oh so special friend is just 3 and a half years old and hugged me today like i have NEVER been hugged before. Maybe it's her innocence in the world... Or...maybe its just the clear sincerity that came with the tear she shed as we said goodbye. But either way...she helped kick off this dream of mine that i am about to skip off into.

She left me with a kiss and a smile after her mother promised a girls only weekend up to Maine to visit Aunt Jackie...The smile was all i needed to make my day. <3
