This page is dedicated to a very special friend of mine.

Lisa

Lisa and I have been friends for around 6 or 7 years.  We met while I still living in Christchurch, and she was living in Timaru (about a hour and half drive south of Christchurch).  We first came together because we shared the same interest, but we quickly discovered that we had more in common that just that one thing.

Over the years Lisa has stood by me as I've been through my ups and downs.  She was my Matron of Honour at my wedding, and although now thousands of miles separate us, our friendship still stands.

Lisa has a wonderful (and sometimes wicked) sense of humour and and is always ready to listen to me vent when I have to and takes everything in her stride.  I always feel better after having talked to her, either through email or on the phone.  She has inspired me in more ways than she will ever know.

Here is a gift that Lisa gave me in honour of our friendship.  It means a lot to me for more than one reason.  It contains some of the lyrics of my favourite song by my favourite band, 'One' by U2.  I truly believe in what these lyrics say, 'we get to carry each other'.  Also, I love this gift because it was given to me by my friend.  

Here is a link to Lisa's homepage, Procrastination Central.  It's a fantastic site with lots of things to see and places to visit.

This is my gift to Lisa.

Our Friendship

Our friendship started many years ago.
Where the days have gone I don't know,
But when I think of all we've done
I stop and smile because we've had such fun.
I hope you know how much I care.
It's friends like you who create a pair.
I wish I were closer to share your happiness;
But near or far, I wouldn't miss
All the things you have to share.
I hope you know I am always here.
I know it is harder being miles away,
But always remember this when I say,
"Our friendship is a treasure
Well beyond any measure. "
