One time Erika, some black guy that used to be a friend of ours and I went to Juarez Mexico to go eat and Erika asked how do you say chicken in spanish because she was considering ordering chicken and the black guy that was with us said "Pollo." Then some older mexican man sitting nearby laughed because he thought it was funny that a black guy was teaching spanish to a mexican girl instead of the other way around. Our black friend started laughing when he noticed the mexican guy laughing. I chuckled a little bit and so did Erika. I miss the good old days of hanging out with Erika. Life is not the same without her.   

One cold night after we finished our christmas shopping, you asked me if we could go buy blankets for the needy, and hand out a blanket to every homeless person that we saw. At first I wasn't thrilled at the idea of driving around all over town hunting down homeless people, but how could I turn down such a sweet gesture. So, we went to the thrift store and you bought a stack of blankets at a good price, and then we drove around UTEP and downtown and you gave out a blanket to every homeless person sleeping on the cold pavement or bench.

You were always thinking of others. You were always so kind to everybody, even to the people that were mean to you.
