Kimari is one of the greatest friends I have ever had in my life. He is so honest and sweet and caring with that crazy touch of New York drizzled with his yummy Jamaican accent. When I lost my job last year he was so consistent in calling and seeing about me that it blew my mind. It was the dead of winter and Kookoo kept hiking it to Jersey to see about me.

Although my recent trip to see Rob was a disaster, seeing Kimari made the whole trip so worth my while. He was having problems with his girl and we discussed it a bit. The following Sunday I was thinking of him so strongly and he called me just at that moment. He was distressed because things had gone down hill with his girl. I told him he was being immature by punishing her by not talking to her. Rob did that to me and it sent me into a tail spin. I told him to suck it up and tell her how he felt. He got off the phone with me and called her right away. He called me later that week to tell me that he was so glad he called me and how good my advice was. Everything is great with him and Miss Thing and he is on top of the world again. I am so happy for him. I know he is happy and smiling. He has one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever witnessed.

I love you, Kookamonga!

Oh, and he is going to Tuyet Linh’s wedding with me, too! That will help me not to be so on edge about meeting all the people she will introduce me to since I am making her gown.
