Smackola and Laura Dore

I cant believe i have some­one so spe­cial. she is my best friend. She has been there for me through my up and downs. good and bad times and at the low­est point in my life. she helped me through my depres­sion. she picked me up when i felt like giv­ing up. i know i was alot to deal with. i know i’ve caused her pain by my actions of try­ing to help me get bet­ter. and not think­ing of her­self at times and even tho’ she was hurt. she still went way up above and beyond the norm of help­ing and lov­ing some­one. she showed me she loved me by her actions and when the smoke cleared she was still stand­ing there… tired and exhausted… she taught me a lot and intro­duced me to new things and opened my eyes and heart up to allow me to express myself.…i feel so grate­ful because she really really believed in me and saw some­thing in me to save me. and she sac­ri­ficed alot for me. it’s like she jumped in a fire to help me. and she tru­ely loves me. not the smack­ola me. but the real me. the level of car­ing she dis­played reminds me of only one other women in my life that would even do some­thing like this… my mother. and i cant wait for them to meet. thank you laura for all you have done. you saved my life! i feel you in my soul i’ll never be able to thank you enough but i will always let you know how much i love you!! –Thomas (Smackola)
