You are perfect, my little guy. Everything little thing you do is magic, as the song goes. I can't love you anymore than I do. Impossible. I know all grandparents think their grandchildren are the best, but mine just IS. Love you, stink foot. And will be happy to see you sitting on the potty. WIth love and love and more love, Nan. -Mickey

I had just found out I was denied $3,000 I was relying on; four hours later my boyfriend and I broke up; then as I drank my pity beer with two girlfriends at a bar where I am well-known at they skipped out on their bill (even though I paid mine) and left me to deal with it. You overheard me talking to my mom. You stopped to tell me it would be OK, and you wished me all the best. I cried and hugged you. You made my entire life a little bit better. Thank you for your kindness. I hope you have a wonderful life, because you are a wonderful person! -SaddyMcSadSack

You make the late nights a more bearable, man. I bet I'm one of many who appreciates your kind eyes and smile as you scan student cards for those staying past 12am. -A Student

Thank you so much to the lady who sits at an open third floor window to play violin for all of us walking below. We always stop to listen and my daughter always asks for violin when we go past. Thanks for making our day brighter! -Music Lovers

I saw that you were on the scaffolding and you were wearing your harness and you were practicing fall protection safety! I would have kissed you but you were up high being safe. Big love from us all for taking care of yourself and being able to go home at the end of the day! -I Noticed And You're Great

You are so special.
You work so hard.
You school so hard.
You are so loving.
A true gem. -d

There's no one I'm happier around than you, no one I look more forward to seeing than you; no one who makes me laugh like you; there's no one like you in this whole city makes me feel the way you do. I've been feeling it for awhile and you must feel it, too. -Wake Up

Dear Halifax,

Nine years, nine frickin' years! Longer then I have lived anywhere in my life. Moving in and during the first few, I'd always told myself, four years max. But you caught me, you grabbed my attention. It was a wild ride. So many experiences, people, friends, events, opportunities, community and smiles. At times there were negatives of the sort, but this is love, not a bitch. To all of you in Hali, thank you. Old, new, hipsters, hippies, employers, co-workers, patrons, musicians, DJs, producers, artists, friends and family. I have seen this city grow towards a good direction. And I hope that the sense of community, but most importantly culture succeeds with time. Anyway thanks. It was a slice. -DeliciousMike

Your smile and enthusiasm are incredible and light up any room you are in as well as everything and everyone in it. I’d meet you halfway anytime, if your old pickup truck can handle it! Just have not asked, as I’m a big old scaredy-cat. -Black Sheepdog

I am a woman of many faces. I am a professional, I am a mother and I am a woman. I am not complicated, even though some might think. I am who I need to be at any given moment. Society has pushed me to show the appropriate face in the individual settings, whether I want to be all at that time or not. I am constantly reminded, it is not OK to be me as a whole. It is the rare moment with special people that I get to be all of me at once. If you are one of those people, please know I cherish you and value you beyond all measurable forms. You accept me for who I am, in entirety, not just one of my faces... -Wanting To Just Be Me!
