To Kaysar Ridha....with love

Kaysar! You have shown that one man can make a difference. Did you know you would be that man? Early on you stated that you hoped when people saw you, who you were, your life, your culture, that you could make a difference. You did indeed.

I learned from you, my friend. So much that I cannot put into words the feelings that I wish to share, to thank you for. Your wisdom made me think of how I should be, speak, act, react. Your quiet contemplation in dealing with those around you showed me what can be done through logic and integrity.

Your beauty, both inside and out...what an honor to have 'met' you, if only via the television.

I learned about your culture and found myself wanting to know more. You are so young, yet have the wisdom of Solomon. I can only say a most heartfelt THANK YOU for validating for me, and showing American's, to look at each person as an individual, to have belief in the goodness of man.

You are a Hero Kaysar! Not just my hero..... A hero to all who believe in freedom, honor, righteousness, goodness, love and understanding.

You are....
Forever in my heart.....
