It is truly a grand honor; the opportunity to testament to Shahndi. I have known Shahndi all of my childhood and into my adult years, yet the deepest part of our friendship comes from recent years. In that time, I can sincerely say there is no person that has touched my life in the way she has. So much of my life has been influenced and changed due to this incredible woman. When I think of Shahndi and how to express the feelings she bestows upon my life, I am silent. There is no capability of expressing these feelings through words. The love, kindness and unparallel compassion she shows towards people is one a person must experience for themselves. There is a light inside Shahndi that is so magnificently bright that it touches and influences all around her. I feel that if Shahndi were not a part of my life, I would surely be missing a key and divine element of my existence.
