This is Berta. Berta is my neighbor. She was one of my very first friends here. We talked one afternoon on the street corner and she said to me "hey, I like you. We should be friends." And that was that. The very next day when I saw her, she called me "Ames"- like we had known each other our entire lives. I wish that it was always that easy to make friends. Berta moves away on Saturday. I will be very sad to see her go. But I will take the advice of the late great Dr. Seuss-
“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
