6. Deena is such a beautiful human and I feel so lucky to have her in my life. I don’t connect with people often, but Deena and I hit it off from the start and I am forever grateful to be in her life.   

 5. She checks in. I’m so bad at checking in with friends and family but Deena ALWAYS does. She always asks how I am doing and how my family is.  

 4. There are so many things I love about Deena, but one of my most favorite things is when she sends me videos of Laka snoring and her sweet wet nose waggles. That’s true friendship. 

3. No matter what we talk about, she’s always accepting and understanding an never judgmental. I always feel safe talking to her. 

 2. She’s the best coffee date. Our coffee dates easily turn into hours without either of us noticing how much time has gone by. 

Can I do more than one?  Because I have more than one.

1. Deena is the best hugger on planet earth. I’m not a hugger AT. ALL, but I absolutely can not refuse a Deena hug.
