Hi, I'm Krissy, and I am 12 years old. I am Kim's best friend. I often worry about Kim, because of how often she has to have surgery. Every time she goes to surgery, I want to go with her. I went with Kim when she first went to Pittsburgh. My mom knows how much I worry about her, so she let me go. After a couple of weeks I got homesick and decided to come home. I really missed her but we kept in touch all summer on the phone and by writing letters to each other. I am really happy she is feeling better now and is home. I have spent most of the month of August at her house making up for the rest of the summer, but now it is time to go back to school.

This is Kim and I. Aren't we an interesting pair?
