Thank you...
11am call
Seriousness eminating from your voice
Concern
I'm sorry I worried you
But I needed you and you offered to call.
You've been there in it all
Quietly taking the back seat
While I persued what I thought would bring me love
For a longer term
In all the nights, my friend,
You patiently there.
On the other end offering hugs
For something I couldn't tell you about.
No questions
You just hoped I was okay.
So I thank you.
You've been there for so long now
And I've always treasured your friendship
The friendship that I must turn to now
And thank you
For listening
So today
I'm hanging on to that 11am call
And finally
Being able to fall asleep.

We're sorry..this heart has been d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d. Should you like to hold the line we'll be glad to reconnect you..

Wonderful, Jennifer. I found your title the clincher of it all.

It sounds like you have something very special there, and that you cherish it...this was beautiful.

Yes..Thank you all. He is a wonderful friend. I have many wonderful friends though, and I wish I could write the same for all of them. One day, right? Love and hugs to you all for your responses.

Me and JFK - only thing in common - we wear no hats (I guess he wore one for inaugeration) - but hat - white or black - male or female - like everything else - one must look beneath the surface -how's that phrase go? "A good man is had to find..." or is it "A hard man is good to find..."?

It IS nice when 'you've got a friend' - well said Ms T
