Thanks...

This post is for my very supportive friends and family. This past month or so has been very trying and these past week especially has been a pretty tough. All week I have been recieving LOTS of support in the way of phone calls, emails and food (thanks mom) from my sister, my almost/might as well be a sister (Julie), and my mom. My school sounding board has also been a great listener lately and has offered helpful advice and plenty of Kleenex. Thanks for putting up with my invasion of your space and for listening, Michele. Today I got a special package in the mail from one of my closest friends, who seemed to know that I really needed a laugh and a cry. The package evoked both, at the same time. Tracey, you are great and I really appreciate your thoughtfullness!! Today, I also got an email from a friend whom I have not seen in over a year and finally we caught each other on the phone. She called just as I was opening the email that she sent. Really, I had only read the first sentence when the phone rang! It is amazing how people two people can be separated for so long and then just fall right back into sink. Marguerite is right, that is Grace---knowing, without really knowing that a friend needs you and being there. It is so comforting to have such great relationships with friends! I am a very lucky woman!
To you all, and you know who you are, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I do not know if I would make it without such great friends and family!
