"The more love you give away, the more room you have in your heart."
Friends touch our lives and hearts in such special ways. They love us no matter what. Friends always tell you the truth. They are who you share your deepest thoughts, desires, fears, love and never judge but support. They share your happiness and hurts. Offer advise when needed without pressure. If you make a mistake, they pick you up to go on with life, standing right beside you. This page is dedicated to my confidants in life. Truth is we have many friends, but only a few real confidants in this life.
Nelwyn, my partner in crime!! We raised our babies together, shared our joys and pain. A friendship that I cherish for over 20 + years. My rescue squad partner, right or wrong, we support each other and can be very honest. The friend that loves me! We are the strength that keeps each other going forward in life and trying not to look back. If we do look back, as the 60's kids, we should have been arrested for a lot of things we got away with!!
Remember the pig, you were nursing a baby that slept through the night, but had to get up and feed a piglet. I love you more than I can express. My life without you, I couldn't imagine. My hope is that we have many more years of making memories. Thank you for always being here for me. My wish is that we grow old together and laugh at the daring stuff we pulled off!!

Bonnie, the mother of my niece and nephews. Not only are we bound by the children, but by love. There is a very special place in my heart for you. We have been through many things together. Some very good, some very sad, but somehow we remain strong for each other. She drives me to concerts that Donald doesn't want to attend and we have a blast!!! When things are not going my way this lady will pick you up!! Her outlook on life is "take life one day at a time". My girls adore her. Their wonderful Aunt Bonnie!! She is a teacher who loves children and is there for the children and not for the paycheck at the end of the month. She gives her heart and soul to all involved in her life. Thank you Bonnie, I am glad I was blest with you in my life!!! Here's to many more concerts!!
....."the act of love, no matter how great or small, is always appreciated."
"You're a very special friend to me. And I cherish all the wonderful qualities you have; the ones that shine so bright for everyone to see, and the more personal ones....that are only known to the lucky people who are close to you.
You've got so many good things going for you. And the more I know of this world and of the people in it, the more I know that you're really one of a kind. I think I could search the world over and never find a more wonderful friend than you."

Vanessa, my beautiful red-headed friend, you, my cheerleader in life. How you have touched me, supported me, accepted me. I love you for everything. She is my Doc's right-hand. She is the angel on earth. She also enjoys my love for concerts under the stars. Has great kids. Always here to lend a hand. A ear to listen and to love. Her kindness is one of a kind. A really cool lady even when I bring bees to the office for others!! Level headed and warm, that is my friend!!
"Friendship is a special gift given to us all. The smile of a friend is sunlight on a cloudy day, and every smile given to a friend is returned. A friend is one whom you can talk to, and listen to, without judging. A friend doesn't ignore your faults but accepts them as a part of you. A friend is a shoulder to lean on when you need support, a pat on the back when you do well, and a sympathetic ear when you fail. A friend is a person
you can laugh with about everything, you can cry with without shame, and whom you trust completely. A friend is a partner in life, and a part of you always.".....Brian Bindschadler....
"True friends! There are many people that we meet in our lives but only a few will make a
lasting impression on our minds and hearts. It is these people that we will think of often and who will
always remain important to us as true friends."

My sweet Dawn aka Hunnybee. How you have entered my heart! My beautiful BABY BEE. I have
adopted you as mine... As if I have given birth to you... As if I am the one who gave you life. The
mother of my new grandchild if only in cyberspace. You own my heart.
You have become a part of my soul. Someone, who will not judge, but love! In just a few short weeks you have entered my life with wisdom and love. Before this life is over, I will meet you
face to face and share lots of BEE HUGS AND KISSES! Not only have you blest my life, but help
to make my pages lovely with your talent. This Mama Bee loves you so very much!! I thank you for
being you!!
"I've brought to you my insecurities and laid them carefully around you, hoping that you would deal with them gently. You stood beside me when so many have walked away. You sheltered me with affection and I felt more secure. You did not treat me with insignificance, but you showed me a brighter side, and helped me make corrections along the way. You hold a vital role in my life, and I wanted you to know. There are so many times when I forget to tell you just how important you are to me."
"You touched me":
"Thank you for being you!"
Love you Hunnybee, more than you know!!!
I've learned that..."true friendship continues to grow, even over
the longest distance".
Deak-"my knight in shining armor" you have touched my heart with love and wisdom. We have shared so very much even this nasty disease. You make me smile, you warm my soul, and I love you for your kindness. I value our friendship. Thanks to cyberspace and ICQ you have helped to make me stronger. "Say goodnight, Gracie"-love you Deak.
"Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide us and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that no matter what, we're not alone."
Jerry-my Cow Town friend--how I love you. We share our MS, our fears, our funnies, and our kids. My sweet late night ICQ partner. You pick me up after a long night at work and I hope I do the same for you. I guess we are the virtual night owls. I never tire of sharing and talking to you. Thanks for loving me even with the first knowledge of me was my wreck and hitting 4 deer coming home from work. No, the deers were not coming home from work, that would be me! Ha!!
"If nobody smiled and nobody cared and nobody helped us along. If every moment looked after itself and good things always went to the strong; If nobody thought just a little about you and nobody cared about me, and we stood alone in the battle of life, What a dreary old world this would be.
Life is sweet, just because of friends we have made and the things which in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care. It is doing and giving for somebody else on which all of life's splendor depends. The joy of this world, when you've summed it all up, is found in the making of friends".
Barry, there are no words to tell this world what you and your family mean to me. You are wise beyond your years and have a heart of pure gold. We share our MS and beestings and you are my fighter that believed right from the start that this is right and worth a try. Every email, every entry in your journal brings you and your family closer to my heart. You make me more than ever determined to reach everyone of us and share what I believe in. I thank you for your on-line journal. You, as well, are reaching out and touching many lives. I will end this as you have come to know--"BEE WELL AND HAPPY"-Always, Donna.
"You are someone who cries for me, worries for me, and smiles for me, and someone I can do the same for. You are always there when I especially need a friend, and you let me be there for you. You are someone who cares about me no matter what I do or say. You are kind, considerate, and gentle, the type of person I look up to. You are someone who is loving, understanding and compassionate, who is easy to like and care about. You have given so much to me; a friendship that will last through years and challenges, a caring and sharing that I treasure. You are someone wonderful; you are my closest friends."....Rena Wardall
There are other people whom I dearly love and care about in this world, but there is no one else quite like all of you. Looking back you are the best part of my yesterdays and will be the best of my tomorrows. I love all of you so very much. I am so grateful for what each of you share with me. Thank you for making my life happy and complete. It is with pride and love that I dedicate this page to you, my friends!
"Thanks to all of you, I've Had The Time Of My Life!!!"
