In sorrow I did sit and cry
For God sent wings that would not fly
But once again you came to share
The love inside that’s always there

You lifted me though not to sky
You brought me to where friendships lie
Where family love will always stay
You dried my tears and made my day


Thank you, my PIP family.

This place has it’s ups, which are many

And it’s downs, which are few


This place really is a family

And a darn good one, at that


I’m glad, and fortunate, to be a small part of it

And I’m glad you are too Rick


Blessings to you my friend,
Richy

Beautiful dear Rick. How often we are able to smile again after reading a heartfelt word, after receiving a hug, a smile. Even if it travels across the world it is felt.
The connection is there!
Love, Margherita

Hello Rick

I know there are many people here who will always be there for you, particularly in times of need.  I am one of those people.

"When the willow bends at the
first hint of troubled breezes,
our friends come running
to see how they can help.
Sometimes friends know
when they are needed even
before we realise it ourselves,
because we are accustomed to
letting them in on the
happenings of our lives"

Take care......Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

It appears that as you sowed, you reaped! ~ seeds of friendship, love & support!

Pipsters are there for you as you have always been for Pipsters!

You never fail to touch me with your words.

Love & Light,
Linda

I always like reading your stuff Rick - so full of kindness and good things.  

It is strange (when you really think about it) that people so separated by geography can experience each other, and have friendships - like here at PIP.  

Take care.
