Rafael!

One of the best people in the world. He is a great listener, advice giver, and mother. Rafael will be there whenever you need him. If he isn't singing Sondheim in the shower, he may be sunglass shopping or working out. He loves Psychology, musical theatre, and his nephews. He is intelligent and a fantastic note taker. He knows multiple languages and hundreds of musicals. Rafael is going to be a brilliant teacher/professor one day. His laugh is hysterical, especially when it goes into a higher register and stays there. He really should direct more things because he always has such creative ideas and does so well at articulating them. When Raf sets his mind to something, he is going for it. He fights for what he wants and is a wonderful person to have on your side. He is extremely loyal, smells great, and very observant. Rafael is someone you are friends forever with. Day or night, he will be there. People love and adore him. Raf makes you feel at home even when you live thousands of miles away from one another.

Friend: I need a big hug and to have a really good cry with someone. I need someone to sing with. I need someone that will tell me it will all be okay.

Me: Oh, you mean you need Rafael!
