Brindusa, I know I can always count on you, big sister. When the airline told us they had overbooked and needed to take us off the plane, you found a way to let you not board, so we can still board and make the connecting flight in Munich. Without your advice, I wouldn't have moved to New York, and made the life I have now. Thank you! You are a wonderful mother and I learned so much from you about being patient and doing my best every day. You love deeply and passionately and it always inspires me and those around you.
