Welcome To My Friendship Page




        No garden is ever really complete
        without a rose to make it sweet;
        No life is ever full or fair,
        Without someone to share and care;
        There is no garden so complete,
        But roses could make the place more sweet.
        There is no life so rich and rare,
        But one more friend can enter there 
         



        There is no greater gift, than that of friends. And I've been blessed with some of the best friends anyone could ask for. This page is dedicated to them.
        Without each of you my life would be empty *S*





        I have to tell you a very special story.
        By now you all know I left school my jr. year. And I left behind alot of friends. But the one friend I missed most was Henrietta.
        I had gotten married and moved away and we lost contact. I never forgot her. She was in my thoughts often. After severals years I started searching for her. No one knew any thing. I had her Mothers name but that was about all. Over the years I must of called every Henrietta and Billie A. in every town I was in and then some *S*. But I never had any luck. I was determined to find her. I didn't have any luck once I was online either, I searched everywhere I knew, I wasn't giving up.

        George and Iwent back to Beaumont for my birthday one year. And of course I looked in the phone book again!!!

        There was a Billie A., but I knew I had called it before, I had to have!! I had called so many. So I put the phone down. After a while I thought what do I have to lose? I was so excited, it was Henri's mom. I couldn't believe it, after 27 years of searching I had finally found her!( her mom had just had the phone listed in her name )What luck *S*

        I called Henri that night. I think she was in shock. She is living in Fla. And now she is online and we "chat" as often as possible. There are so many years to catch up on, but it seems like we were never really apart.

        She told me that I was the only friend of hers that her children( 8 of them, wow!!) knew by name and needless to say mine felt like they knew her too, after all she was a household name for 27 years!
        THAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF BEST FRIENDS!!
        I am so very glad I found you !!!





        Some people are angels
        Without any wings
        Who spread joy around
        And do wonderful things




        There is no greater friend than one that stands beside you though it ALL. I have such a friend....Lauree B.... She is my right arm. She is always there with a smile on her face no matter what. When I need an ear... she listens. When I need a shoulder ... she is there with open arms... And is always there with a open HEART *S*...To you Lauree.......
        I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me;
        I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be;
        I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day;
        As you mean, old friend of mine, to me along the way.
        Thank you Lauree for always being there

        The Keeper of Friendship
        In a friendship
        We're free to expose,
        Parts of ourselves Nobody else knows.
        But the thing that sustains it
        And sets it apart,
        Is not something spoken
        It's a bond of the heart.
        True friends are rare
        In a lifetime two or three,
        I'm so glad it happened
        Between you and me!

        The Dictionary says a Friend is "a person one knows well, is fond of, an ally, supporter, or sympathizer"...




        FRIENDSHIP'S TAPESTRY

        So often when I think of you and all the times we shared
        My heart is filled with thankfulness to have a friend
        who cared enough to listen to me tell of joys and trials.
        You're being there has been enough to change my tears to smiles.
        The subtle love between two friends is so hard to define.
        It is not a square or circle or even a straight line.
        It's somehow like a tapestry with colors soft and bold
        yet deep within the weaving there are tiny threads of gold.
        Yes, rare and oh so lovely are your friendships' threads of gold
        For they will last a lifetime and then when my story's told
        Someone will hold my tapestry and turn it towards the light
        and tiny points, those threads of gold will gleam and shine so bright.
        And they may think - it's just a thread like green or red or blue-
        Perhaps they'll never ever know that golden thread was you.
        But I've been thinking lately how you've touched my life just so -
        Of how you are so dear to me - and I wanted you to know-
        That even if you're next to me or though we're miles apart
        Your golden thread of friendship still will weave within my heart.









        I could not have a friendship page with the mention of all my
        "cyber friends".
        You all have made my life a little richer
        .....Thank you....

        FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES

        We sit and type, and we stare at our screens
        We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
        With our mouse we roam,through the rooms in a maze
        looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.
        we chat with each other, we type all our woes
        small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
        we wait for somebody to type our name
        We want recognition, but it is always the same
        We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
        in IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
        We do form friendsbut-why we don't know
        but some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
        Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
        Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
        Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
        With those we can't see, as though we were blind.
        The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
        We all have problems, and need someone to tell.
        We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
        so we turn to the 'puter, and those we can trust.
        Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
        They are friends without Faces,with odd little names.

        A Friend Who Just Stands By

        When trouble comes your soul to try,
        You love the friend who just stands by,
        Perhaps there's nothing he can do,
        The thing is strickly up to you:
        For there are troubles all your own,
        And paths the soul must tread alone;
        Time when love can't smooth the road
        Nor friendship lift the heavy load,
        But just to know you have a friend,
        Who will "stand by" until the end,
        Whose sympathy through all endures,
        Whose warm handclasp is always yours,
        It helps, someway, to pull you through,
        Although there's nothing he can do,
        And so with fervent heart you cry,
        "God bless the friend who just "stands by"









        Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end, but somewhere in the middle, we've become the best of friends.



        What a difference you made in my life ...



        I received this, this morning via e-mail, 2/5/98.

        Thank you Sheri. I love you too !!

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I want to post something: *S* NOT!

        I just want to tell you about...
        my most special bestest friend in the world:
        She is always there when I need to share something,
        She is always there for support,
        she is always there to hear my joys & sorrows,
        She is alway been my role model,
        I will always hope to be at least half the person she is.
        I could never ever replace this person in my life, cause,
        She is not only my very bestest friend, She is you!!!!
        MY MOTHER!!!!!
        I love you! Love, Sheri
