I wanted to express my gratitude for this guy, my #dancepartner, #wrestlingpartner, #businesspartner who through the course of time has become my #bestfriend. He has been by my side through all the pain and sadness, held me while I cried, brought some calm to the chaos, been the voice of reason when I couldn’t think straight. He is an amazing, selfless, caring man who has never asked for or expected anything from me. I am so thankful for his #friendship and support and it just goes to show that males and females can just be friends, nothing more, nothing less. Thank you, Louie Martinez, for being my friend. You have carried me through many storms, know that I would and will do the same for you.”
