Friends

I was just thinking about friends just now. So many come and go throughout our lives. Some are brief and thought of only when we reminisce the past. Others we meet and, while they may move away, they are forever in our thoughts and in our hearts. Many I have that I may not see for a long time but when we do get together, its like we've never been apart. And then there are those friends who are with us for a lifetime. I am so grateful for the friends we have, for the way in which I can keep in touch through blogging, emails and parties. I am so blessed to have so many friends so close to us. To have so much support and help when we need it most. Sometimes I may take you for granted and I am sorry I haven't said "thank you" more often, so THANK YOU! You are amazing. You are appreciated. You are loved dearly by both Joe and myself. Whether through blogging or heavy lifting, I have felt your gift of friendship and I want you to know that you have blessed my life. And while I may not be so good at calling or stopping by, please know I am always thinking about you and sending out a prayer that all is well with you and your family. Love you...
