Before I met her I was new in my city and since I had no relatives there and since my birth family are not exactly of the same spiritual path or politics…she became like a best friend, mom, counselor, vacation partner, life coach, partner in crime burrito! I never imagined getting old without her and that reality its tremendously hard. When I go back down into the dressing room 15 minutes before the game I often say to Dennis [Hull, his brother and teammate], 'I feel he's got it tonight; I feel he's got it tonight. It was not simply platonic; we were intimate. Nothing is enough because nothing can replace that empty space.
