| Ode To Friendship I sit here on a warm summer morning, having my first cup of coffee and shaking the remnants of sleep from my eyes. I have turned the computer on, and watch as my online friends appear, one-by-one. I think how lucky I am to have made such wonderful friends. Has it only been five years? I feel I have known some of you a lifetime. You have all made my life richer, and I thank you. Many have come and gone over these five years, which is sad, but understandable.My thoughts turn, as they often do. to the friends I have lost. One in particular, stands out from the rest and will remain anonymous. But if they ever read this, they will surely recognize theirself. This person had a great influence in my life and saw me through a rough time. Due to uncrontrollable circumstances, they were forced to give up the computer, but will forever remain in my heart. Is fear liam my friend. I think of you often. I hope you are happy and well. Hopefully some day you will "pop in" again with a surprise, "Good morning Belle." We never know what life holds in store, so treat each day as if it were your last! Each friend has brought something special into my life. I want you all to know how lucky I feel to have met and known each and every one of you. "Friends are like a mixed bouquet, and my garden is overflowing." |
