Amy continued: “You always wore that beautiful gold necklace on special occasions and now I’m wearing it today. You drilled into my head ‘show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.’ 

“You cried with me when my high school bf broke my heart, and held my hand every time I fell down. Back then I didn’t really appreciate all of those lectures all the time but now I hold them close to my heart.”
