Damn it Nadia, we would have been there!!!!“But I can’t be mad at just you my sweet friend. I should have been there more. And for that I will never forgive myself. I have failed you and I have failed sweet Sophia. So many countless times she came to me over the past few years worried and scared. But me not wanting to piss you off, I never pushed the issue.
