I am a strong woman, but there were times when I needed a hand.  I was carrying many burdens, and I was throdding through dry sand.  Too proud to ask for help, but he knows me so well...I didn't have to say a word he caught me before I fell.  Thank you so much to my friend Arriel...

When my faith was fading away, hurt over powered all hope..my life seemed to be crumbling....I just could not cope.  I used to be confident in myself, but now I questioned who I was.  So many things lost meaning to me, I was doing things, just because...I don't talk to him on a regular..we are many oceans apart..but distance cannot withstand the power of the heart.  When I am hurting he always seems to know, his faith in God helped my spirit to grow...He gave me words of wisdom, for my soul he constantly prayed..Thank you so much to my friend Sunmade...

Laughter, and joy, secrets galore!!  Any time spent in his presence is anything but a bore.. My friend to the end, he makes the thick seem rather thin..He taught me how to laugh it off, helped toughen up my skin.  I never have to call on him because he is always right there..so many people misjudge our friendship, but we truly don't care. He can listen to my voice and know when I'm truly content.  He knows me entirely, he has never cast judgement. He can look into my eyes and see the pain that others can't see........Thank you so much to my friend Leslie...

To every guy who stood by my side, helped me to always honor my pride.  For all the hugs, words of encouragement and good criticism along to way...you have earned a place in my heart and there you will always stay....
