DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to Bonnie Banker Singer, and our friendship of over 46 years. She’s taught me everything I know about humility, strength, courage, stamina and perseverance.
We met at the Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in New York City, and not only survived the next three years of impossible classes and work schedules, but found an affordable apartment in Manhattan following graduation. By then, the world was mine to own. By then, fate stepped in and dealt her an unfair hand. Time has taken its toll. I hope she can still remember that it was she who kept our apartment orderly and clean, made certain that the rent was paid on time, and that our fridge was stocked with food. She has an infectious laugh, a compassionate heart, and rhythm. That girl could really dance!
As so often happens with long-distance friendships, even the most well-intentioned plans of remaining in touch become riddled with years of absences. Mostly, these are my offenses, not hers. She not only continues to forgive my broken promises, but thanks me each time I call. I know I don’t deserve her friendship, but I am forever grateful. Her life’s path has been incredibly difficult, but she has always handled it with dignity and grace.
God bless you, Pookie. You are a true role model, a great friend, and my hero.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
As always, I am thankful for Divine Intervention, placing us where we need to be, when we need to be there.
