When heaviness surrounds me and my days are filled with strife. I find the days grow shorter with every passing year...

I think of things I should have done and it all becomes quite clear.

I should have spent more time with the people that I love. I should have done more praying to our Father up above. I should have been more frugal with the money that I've spent. I should have been much kinder with the words I never meant.

There is a lot I should have done if I could start anew... But the should haves are much easier with Special Friends like you.

You always build me up with your bright and cheery smile... and when I need to talk, you go the extra mile. You help me lift my head when I feel so down and low. And when you say you love me my heart just seems to glow.

I want to say I thank you......for always being there and tell you what it means to me to know somebody cares. So when I sit and wonder what's important in my life I find it's not the should haves or the anguish and the strife.

It's the little things you do in such a great big way... that makes me very thankful and I just have to say.....

You're Special my dear friend God sent you from above.... and there's nothing that's more precious than your friendship and your love.
