Dear Beautiful Whitney,

You are just as beautiful today as you were at age 19. Your humble presence today was so inspiring to so many of us women who too are guilty of loving our men first and ourselves last. Today you have changed my life and I know I am worthy of loving myself first..... Its funny how I never gave up on you and I knew you jwould pull yourself back up; but its very clear to me today that I had certainly given up on myself. Thank you for today - thank you for articulating your story so well. I can now pick myself back up!
