    My sister Straight,

    Now you made me cry. LOL

    I have been blessed by having you in my life. I laugh and smile with you. Straight, you are the type of person that I know is loyal, truthful, caring, compassionate and so much more. I am glad that I have gotten to know the REAL YOU. I wouldn't trade you, my sister for anything or anyone in the world.

    I know that you are trustworthy and caring. There is no doubt on this.

    Someday, I shall see you on a stage at a comedy club somewhere! LOL

    Remember, I need a backstage pass! hehe! You have made a smile come to me because that's what friends do for each other.

    Thank you so very much. m@r!@ and I would be lost without you!

    I love you sister, as so many others do.

    Besitos!

    Super Abuelita

    My dear friend Straight. I love you already like a sister and I can see you have such a good heart. You are open and kind and never afraid to say you are sorry if need be. Your honesty with others and yourself is something I so admire. You are a loving wife and mother and I admire your commitment to that. I strive to be better in my own life because of people like you that gave me a chance to get to know you and share a friendship. I have a feeling we will be friends for a long time to come. Thank-you for being such a huge support and understanding my struggle. And thank-you for being my Idol buddy and making me smile! LOL! You are one special lady. MuAH!

    Straight,

    I only post what I feel in my heart. I hate to see people hurt, anyone. I try to stay true to myself, and mean what I say. I think that you are a loving and caring person. I feel blessed by your friendship. You have been through so much in your personal life. To be as sweet as you are shows that you are a lot stronger than what you think you are. I might give you a nudge every now and then. However you are the one to have the strength to carry on. love you girl. Smooches

    Straight, I never give up my friends. NEVER. I have been the one blessed honey. Why do you think I am always there for you? Well, not because I am a special person. Not at all. But I have the ability to see it in others.

    I saw how open, kind, caring, loyal and trusting you were the first week I was on SHINE.

    And I do believe LIKE is attracted to LIKE. Everyone you have mentioned you like, I do TOO. And most of them I met through YOU.

    You never have to doubt my friendship. I told you, I put my friends and their feelings first. And If I like someone, I like them. That is pretty much how I am.

    HUGS to you and yours

    I am so happy your momma is OK and that you are finally getting some rest and taking care of yourself. Besides, I know where there is a huge cast iron skillet if I see that you are getting unruly.....lol (As if you would..)

    Dear Straight,

    What a wonderful tribute to all of your friends!!!! Many of your friends are also mine,I enjoy hearing from them and I draw comfort from all of them. I had a medical drama last Thanksgiving and Christmas time and I can really say I don't think I would have come thru it,but for my friends here!!! Abuelita was the most caring,prayerful friend. Family means so much to me and when one is hurt or ill, I turn to true friends for help. You were there for me and all I want to say is that I am here for you,if you need me.

    Blessings,love and hugs!!!
