When I was 17 years old I was in my first year of college with few friends and a lot of classes. I spent most of the time studying and working. So not much of a social life. My sister Dayna on the other hand was a vibrant person who attracted lots of friends and had a fun, independent existence. She went out of her way to introduce me to her friends and get me involved in activities outside of school. In 2000, shortly after I graduated college I met her friend Dan. We started dating and Dayna said to me "Don't you go and hurt him because he's a good one." That was 16 years ago. Dan and I were married in 2008 and we now have a 5 yo boy (Edwin), a 3 yo girl (Gwendolyn), and a baby girl due in three weeks (Virginia). If it weren't for my sister I would not have found Dan, the love of my life, and I would not have my wonderful children. So thank you Dayna for my family. I will love you and miss you always.
