You are curious of everything good and will take the time to read and discover and share what you&#8217;ve learned! And you don&#8217;t stop at things, you are curious of people, too! I remember one of the very first trips I made out here you sat down with paper and pencil to take notes of my favorite foods and to mark if there was anything I disliked. I have loved learning with you! You have touched and impacted my life deeply and I love you so very much.
