As my days at New Hope are growing shorter, I thought I'd pay tribute to one of my best little buddies here. I have written at length about Nithin, the runt of the bunch, the cry baby, the one that needs a little extra love. We have gotten really close and it is going to be especially hard to say goodbye to this short stack. He's a humorous little guy; he can make anyone laugh, and he melts my heart with his adoring smile and plentiful kisses. There is one thing to remember about Nithin -- he needs his rest. Beware if he doesn't get it, but most likely he will find a way, whenever and wherever the mood strikes. So here's to you Nithin, you and your many naps.
