To Nala
I got Nala when she was 6 weeks old. We were living in Costa Rica at the time, so she was a tica puppy. She seemed to love us as soon as I brought her home, which always seemed like a miracle.

It only takes five minutes for your life to be turned completely upside down. I was reminded of this harsh fact on Christmas Day. This December, marked the first year since I started rollerskating.
