Sometimes friendship is golden Sometimes friendship is sweet It's pearls are no trinket or token It's value a treasure indeed. But sometimes friendship is shaken It's tested and tried till it's true Words are hastily spoken It's song gets sung out of tune.

Do You Know?
I posted this on Facebook for Andrew: Do you Know? What can I say that hasn't been said? You know that I love you and that I don't want to spend my days without you, but do you know how much I appreciate you? Do you know how much it means to me when you … Continue reading Do You Know?
The Value of an Honest Answer
[The truth will set you free] I won't lie, an honest answer can be difficult to receive, but it can also be absolutely wonderful. Jeremiah wasn't one of my favorite books of the Bible; the subject matter can make it a difficult read. However, I’ve had a change of heart.

Until We Start Over Again
[A time to weep and a time to laugh] When the package that we’d dropped in the mail came back to us with the word “Deceased” written across the mailing label, my reaction was much stronger than I'd anticipated, so as the tears started to flow, Andrew came over and wrapped his arms around me. … Continue reading Until We Start Over Again
