The Fruition Of Friendship ~*Marge Tindal*~ Ten years ago I first went online Didn't know a soul out there at all Entered a site called 'Find-A-Friend' where I put out a friendship call~ Got some hits from special folks who each came to be someone very, very special as friends to live in the heart of me~ First was Don Anger, my Warrior, who was the alter Spirit of my heart Loving friend and mentor he became before from this earth he had to depart~ Also Marti, from New England, who I've come to love a special lady sent from above We still stay in touch over the miles someday I hope to see her true-to-life smile~ Along came Betty from the South who exchanged emails with me online She moved to Oklahoma ... then on to the Virginia hills We've maintained a friendship, via cyber-space, now the time has come to meet ... it simply gives me chills~ ![]() She arrived here to meet me I was as eager as eager could be Waiting ... anticipating ... Along with little Landry Leigh~ She came with her hubby, Gregg, friends Jeannie and Dave too Landry taught Jeannie how to play ‘Go Fish’ and ‘Apples and Worms’ too~ ![]() My Bill joined us for our visit, much too short for us all But, the day goes down in my memories As a favorite one that I always will recall~ ![]() Betts, you are just EXACTLY who I knew you’d be Landry Leigh thought you were neat too ! Thank you, my friend, for coming We sure do love you~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I know you were anxious to meet her, from the letter you wrote to Muys (she sends you her love). Always nice to meet our cyberfriends in the flesh. I can see you all had a great time. Love and hugs, Titia |

Wow Marge, that is so neat. I am hoping someday you and I will meet face to face, too. I missed my chance of meeting Betty, when she was here. |

Oh Marge this is beautiful. It was so wonderful to meet you in person after all these years. And what a great person Bill is & so talented. And Landry - what a little doll. Please tell her I really enjoyed the tour & I have her sign on my refrigerator door so eveyone can see it. Thanks for a terrific visit. Love you, Betty |
