Not because she hated them. But because she
felt like herself again. She didn't feel like she

Obviously, this made me cry too. And I

something that can't be explained. I know
I make your lives better by helping you feel
beautiful, but just know that each and every
one of you make my life better. I get to share
your happiest and saddest moments with you
and everything in between. So, thank you for
choosing me to be part of your lives. I love you
all more than you'll ever know. ■
