Loikamania

This bonus show is personal. I talk about a person who I've gotten to know and lose in the last year, and a message to everyone who listens to the show. If you don't want to listen to me lose my composure, all I will say is: take care of the people around you, pay attention to them, be there for them, tell them how much they mean to you...and never take them for granted. Take care...and be good.
