you have touched my life
and my world in a way
few others have ever done
and i know i will never be the same..
you have brightened my life
with the gifts of your laughter and joy 
and the comfort of kn owing someone care...
you have stood strong for me
when the rest of the world
seemed not to care....
you have been my true friend
when i had very little friendship to give back.....
you have taken the time to listen
when i needed to talk
and hug me when i cried.....
