BOTICA, Frano. I love you for the way you always smiled when you saw me, I loved you for the way you said my shortened name 'Don' with slow drawl, I loved it when you growled then smiled afterwards, I loved it when you sang along with the guitar, I loved it when we did cool things at your house and I loved it when you let me count pills out the back. I love you because you're you. Donna, Rick and family.
