Because of You My Friends

Because of you

I am a friend

Because of you

I have a friend

Because of you

I need to celebrate

a friend that I will sorely miss

as I know you will as well

let's make a plan

to spend a day in the city

this year

and every year thereafter

to celebrate what's important to us

the people that bring life to our lives

YOU.

Thank you for being my friend...

I am very sad...

but very happy to know that I have friends like you

Today I Lost a Very Good Friend

Today I lost a Very good friend
Suddenly - without warning

She was one of those kindred spirits
Who took each day with a grain of salt -
No matter what
and
Never took anything for granted

She loved her family and totally loved
Her grandchildren. A conversation with Terri
Always included the mention of at least one member
Of her family! Always!

May all of us remember to take a breath often
To remember how we want to spend our moments

May those moments Remind us of how we want
To live each day

And what we want the memory of us to be

May it be everything we dreamed of

Tender, quiet, caring, loving, happy
