This morning, I was very, very down. I didn't really know which way to turn. I posted here and had a reply from Aries55. (For those of you who don't know, we live literally within 1/2 mile or so from each other) We talked on the phone for awhile, then she came to my house. With her, she brought a beautiful print with a very touching poem on it. She had received it from a friend and passed it down to me, as I was in need of it today. I am so thankful to have met her, and we have been able to help each other through some difficult moments. I truly cherish her friendship.<P>Friendship<P>It wasn't our plan that friends<BR>We'd be, it was decided<BR>For us from eternity.<P>A friend to lean on when <BR>Troubles appeared, someone to help <BR>Us through all the years.<P>Together we've grown giving<BR>Each other a hand, <BR>Fulfilling our Lord's glorious plan.<P>God in his infinite wisdom<BR>Knew my special friend<BR>Had to be you.<P>Judy Ullman, 1996<P>I think of all of you as my special friends that God has given me.

Wow, that is beautiful. Thank you for sharing that, Hurtinginil. Thanks so much to Arie55 for being there for Hurtinginil. That is just great! <P>Take care all...
