For those who are thinking that 'nilla is a cold-hearted bitch, I share my story.

I suffered a devastating loss Saturday morning. In my case, I was on my own. My kids were away. The rest of my family were out enjoying a beautiful day. I couldn't wrap myself in my beloved's family because they couldn't be located to be informed. I couldn't cope with my friends' caring. I couldn't speak but I could type.

'nilla was amazing. She helped me through my darkest hours in a way that no one in real life could have done during those first few catastrophic hours. She got me to the point where I was able to reach out and accept the hugs of people in real life.

I will be eternally grateful and will never forget. Thank you, my friend.
