Dear Casey,
Today, I am requesting a song for a wonderful women that I fell in love with the moment I first saw her. I met Hong when we were in training together in Chicago. Hong is originally from Vietnam, and her full first name is Tuyet Hong which means white rose in Vietnamese (an appropriate name for such a beautiful woman). Casey, we had such a great time together touring Chicago. I was only around Hong for a week 2 years ago. But since then, we've kept in contact through emails and phone calls. Hong lives in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I'm in Wisconsin. There may be some distance between us and some distance in time since we were last together. But you know what, love doesn't know distance. I think about Hong all the time. She's made quite a difference in my life. Some day in the future, we may find a way to be together. Until then, I just keep hoping that one day soon, I'll be holding Hong in my arms and looking into her beautiful eyes again. Casey, will you please play "Crazy for You" by Madonna? ('cuz I'm crazy for her) Thank you.
