I've made many happy memories at Simona's house. The first time I visited her, she had chips and salsa waiting to ease my Mexican cravings. At her Christmas party, I taught several Slovak women to play poker. We made gingerbread cookies in her kitchen, and I spent Christmas eve with her family. On several weekends, Simona has invited me over to watch classic Czech and Slovak movies and eat delicious meals. A few weeks ago, we sat at her table and decorated Easter eggs with melted wax crayons. She compared herself to Jackson Pollock. Today, we went on a hike in the woods near her neighborhood. In no time, the countless concrete buildings were out of sight and we were immersed in the trees and hills. It was another happy day with my good friend.

How much do I love Simona?? More than life. Give her a big hug for me. And, tell her thanks for taking care of my Mandy. :) I love you!
Simona - You're an angel! I can't thank you enough for taking such good care of our precious, little girl! Thanks also to your mom as I'm sure she is proud of the daughter she raised. I'm proud of the daughter I raised also!
