To a dear friend...

I had a long discussion with a very dear friend today. I treasure this person so very much. I can't go into detail here because I was told things in confidence and I'd never betray that trust but I know that she reads this blog and I just want her to know how much she means to me and how much my heart aches for what she is being forced to endure. She deserves so much better. I hope she knows just what a special person she is. I have admired her for so long because of the kind and gentle soul she has but after our conversation today I now respect her and admire her so much more because this lady has been through things unimaginable to most of us and yet she has come through it all and has remained a mild mannered, kind, gentle and loving person. She amazes me and I'm honored to call her my friend.
