Dearest first love, you stood up for me and loved me against tremendous pressure not to. I wish I had known of your own struggles with identity, I wish I could have been more of a friend to you. As I posted on Dick Butler's page, "You didn't care that I had an 'ethnic' last name, you didn't care that my father wasn't rich, you liked me for me." Your love and encouragement still means a lot to me and I am so sorry that I cannot tell you in person. I miss you. With love, Suzie.

Dearest John,
Dearest first love, you stood up for me and loved me against tremendous pressure not to. I wish I had known of your own struggles with identity, I wish I could have been more of a friend to you. As I posted on Dick Butler's page, "You didn't care that I had an 'ethnic' last name, you didn't care that my father wasn't rich, you liked me for me." Your love and encouragement still means a lot to me and I am so sorry that I cannot tell you in person. I miss you. With love, Suzie.
