When I was 4 years old, I met the boy next door, donnie, and we were immediately in crush with one another. He was my first crush. So many great memories, we were in kindergarden together. We saw the wisard of oz in color for the first time at my house together with both families. I was happy to see Donnie at BBlyns 50th birthday, we had fun together. My heart hurts that someone who was so special to me is now gone.
