This morning I woke and thought about Torri. I wanted to share a little about my experiences with her. Torri is a wonderful woman who has a BIG heart and a great sense of humor. Torri was my buddy in Dubai and the one I wished I had in my room with me when the lightening fire broke out on the side of the mountain. She loved seeing the gold in Dubai and the spice markets and was a real down to earth; tell it like it is; kind of person. There were not a lot of frills and sugar coating with Torri and this I liked about her. Every once in a while... I would just crack up wondering if she was thinking the same thing I was during our travels. It was like we didn't need to say a thing to each other the expressions on our faces told the WHOLE story! Torri lives in California and has a bird for a pet. She told me a lot of stories about her bird which I found entertaining. At one time during one of our distributions Torri handed me a stuffed Eyeore and said... "Rachel... she if she wants this?" And I almost cried right there on the spot at how the little girl just looked at the stuffed animal and hugged it and loved it. Torri was also a great buddy to have because she made sure if I wasn't at dinner or on the bus to hold the train and wait for me. Every day I need someone to cover my back and keep me focused and on task. Torri was that kind of person to me. And always with a smile.
Torri... thank you for being you. You are an inspiration to me to keep doing good. What goes around truly does come back to you. Your humor, friendship, and sincerity are one of the many blessings I was able to participate and share in during our recent travels.
Hugs
Rachel
You are right! Torri is a gem! I have had the pleasure of having her as my friend for many years, and you will never meet a kinder, more generous person! And that sense of humor...watch out! Lucky you, to have had a chance to experience both Africa and Torri too, two magical marvels! You are blessed! (from her friend Denise)
