In the ebb and flow of life I have found the one reality I could always count on was friendship.At every point of sorrow or joy my friends have been there to share it all.Whenever I think about all of those experiences a flood of voices and images bouy my spirit.Gratitude is too weak a word for all the caring and love that has been showered on me, but it is a feeble attempt to say thank you.Today and all the days that are to come are opportunities to respond in kind to their generosity and love.
