Dearest Sushu -- I met you in 1994 at CLCH, when I was just six years old, and you were immediately the friend I needed. We became good friends almost instantly, the kind of relational magnetism that happens only a few times in life. You were kind, funny, bubbly, genuine, trustworthy, compassionate, charismatic, and you made me feel safe. I think about all the Sunday trips to Burger King with our families, the Sunday school lessons we'd sit through together, and how much I looked forward to Friday nights because we got to hang out at the Punahou church. I don't know how I would've gotten through those early years without you. I'll miss you, I'll always remember you, and I'm so thankful to have been your friend in this lifetime.
