I watched you this summer be challenged every where you turned; with work, loss of family and other people you loved. You stumbled but you needed room to do that. You carried on and in the midst of other huge changes in your life, you started to laugh again, tell jokes again, be “You” again. I know sadness creeps in sometimes when you think of the people you have lost, but know that their life was made more rich for knowing you. Every day is a gift, you said to me, and while I don’t like each day I treasure the lessons it teaches. You may never understand why people chose to leave, or why people die suddenly but you now know what strength is in you. I count myself lucky to be your friend and your confidante. I just need you to know that. —Red Fraggle

Thank you for helping me face a drastically different life than what I had this time last year. I count you among the most important people in my life my friend.
Life is more rewarding every day! Plus with the trouble I get in, I am doing freaking amazing and I have you to thank.
Ms.C Your very lucky indeed to have such a loyal friend who will stay by your side no matter how badly you mess up.
Between my continually putting my foot in my mouth and being a complicated person to figure out,not many people have the time or patients to stick it out with me.
I can’t blame them really,I can be a pain in the ass at times but if given a chance,I can be more loyal than a Golden Retriever.
