Katherine Erickson; my support, my confidante and, above all, the first and one of the truest friends I have ever known. To Katie, I say this: you are kinder and more beautiful than all the colours of the world could show, although I have tried. You came into my world as I was anxious and small, and showed me that it is not alone which protects us, but friends.
