Hi, my name is Valerie and i'm greek-italian,i'm 16 year old and i'm going to an American school here in Greece. When i was 11 i had a conversation with my grandfather(he is a journalist,( i adore him) and he had written many articles about you Barbra) we started talking about music and he told me about you, i knew you because i was always a kid who prefers older artists such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Ray Charles etc..so i was curious about your songs so the next day i went to a store and i bought two cds. I fell in love with your voice and your talent. After that ,i watched some of your films. You were the one who taught me how to be strong in difficulties and how to move on. I'm only 16 year old and i've been through many problems in my family, i lost some persons that i loved very much. You inspired me and you will always be in my heart. You made your dreams come true and i want to make my dreams come true too. Life is short so we must LIVE and Never give up..
Perhaps you won't read it because you have billions of fans who write you every single day but its ok. I'd like to thank you and i want you to know that i will always be on your side...
