I just want to say "Thank You" to all my friends who had stick by me thru
thick and thin, thru sadness and  happiness. I really appreciate all your
help and comfort.

With great appreciation,

FRIENDSHIP:

(for all my friends out there that I know, let's not forget how special a
friend can be..)

Friendship is a strange thing....we find ourselves telling each other the
deepest details of our lives...things we don't even share with our families
who raised us...But what is a friend? A confidant? A lover? A fellow email
junkie? A shoulder to cry on? an ear to listen? a heart to feel?...A friend
is all these things...and more.  No matter where we met, ....I call you
friend. A word so small...yet so large in feeling...a word filled with
emotion. It is true great things come in small packages. Once the package of
friendship has been opened, it can never be closed...it is a constant book
always written...waiting to be read...and enjoyed. We may have our
disagreements...we may argue...we may concern one another... friendship is a
unique bond that lasts through it all.... A part of me is put into my
friends...some it is my humor...some it is my listening ear...some it is real
life experiences...some it is my romanticism...but with all, it is
friendship.   Friendships forged are a construct stronger than steel built as
 a foundation....necessary for life...and necessary for love.
 
    Friends...you and me...
                 you brought another friend...
                       and then there were 3...
                             we started our group...
                                 Our circle of friends...
                                       and like that circle...
                                            there is no beginning or
                                                        end..
 
Keep this going....Email all your friends this message....email all those
friends you never met....those you have...and those you've lost along the
way...It is by chance we met, by choice we became friends...

 Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them.  Don't
be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to
you.   Because when you decide that it is the right time, it might be too
late. Seize the day.  Never have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to
your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you
are today.
