Julie and Robert,
Michael and I have been friends from the first grade till now, My best friend, the only one I had. He would go see my parents when I was in Vietnam, and that meant a lot to me. We were always together in school, and needless to say, I loved him very much. Even when trouble came in school, we made it through. He will always be in my mind and my heart. Forever..
