Carol always every day made me smile and/or laugh. We would send one another air kisses or hugs when seeing each other from afar, mostly followed by real hugs. But the one time I gave her a coaster that my grandmother brought from Cuba, made me laugh the most because after that she told everyone in the building that me and my family are from Cuba. I´m German :D
I loved you like my own grandma and I wish we could have spend more than one year together. Rest in peace, my crazy fun Gemini friend.
