In all my excitement about my son's engagement and me doing flip, flop's.......i forgot one important thing. 

To say    thankyou to each & everyone of you for all your heartfelt comments of support....encouragement.....love ....& well  wishes. You all touched me, so very much.

                                                  T......thoughtfulness

                                                  H.....healing

                                                  A.....affection

                                                  N.....nurturing

                                                  K.....kindness

                                                  Y....yes for online friends

                                                  O.....overwhelmed

                                                  U....ultimate friends

                                                  Thankyou!

And in saying345.gif  i would like to leave you with this poem  "Portrait of a friend"

Special Friend Poems
[b]"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
                from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.
    --Unknown

Hugs & love Janice

Re: Deep Gratitude

Dear Julie, thankyou just doesn't seem the right word....for how humble i feel to be among so many wonderful and true friends. Between you & i, i don't feel very well at all and am very scared. Thankyou for your concern.

Re: Deep Gratitude

Dear nature buddy....yes life is wonderful when it gives you that special moment and i've have so wished for this moment to happen for my son....i know times have changed since my day, but he is not a spring chicken, even though he will tell you his is only 25 years old, ( i wish)....and for  many years he has wandered aimlessly, i feel....not finding that soul mate to share his life with .....so yes dear friend i'm still over the moon about the news.

Thankyou for being there.....hugs Janice xxxx

Re: Deep Gratitude

Methinks your gratitude is somewhat misguided my lovely lady... 'Tis our gratitude to you that we express when we show love and care for you in this nasty plight.  We are merely paying respect for the unconditional love, care and attention that you constantly bestow upon all of us.

Congratulations to you... Tell Jamie and Julya you are going to be the ultimate grandparents, so they better get on with it! 

Much love, admiration, and friendship to you both up there in your little piece of Heaven on Earth - xox

Now the tear are flowing and i have no tissues in here....thankyou from the bottom of my heart, for your heartfelt words.

I'm with you Lui ....and on their visit  home from the 8th april til the 15th....i will be dropping as many hints as possible....my son already knows how much i've longed for that day to become a grandma.

Love you heaps, you gorgeous friend. xxxxx

Re: Deep Gratitude

Thats an awesome poem there Janice

There is nothing to thank us all for, caring for someone so gentle and warm hearted like you is just natural

We all think so highly of you and love you dearly

Hi dear Cazza....yes he is a real gem and my rock at the momment....but i'm glad that he was keeping an eye on you all....as he know's how much i care and worry about you all.

Sweetie, it should be you who is resting and recovering at present, i do hope you all start to feel better real soon, i think this past week just took so much out of you and you were run down, enough to pick up a bug....take care sweetie.

Love Mum....or i'll fetch Steve onto you, hehe!

I hope you are taking care of yourself.  You don't need to thank us for anything.  What we give we give freely, unconditionally and with compassion.  Loved your poems and I hope that you are starting to feel better.
