Patty,
There isn't anything wrong with you that a smile, a hug, and a kiss won't cure. Every time we talk I leave feeling refreshed. Every time we write you teach me something new. I don't know anyone else with a ten foot stuffed alligator on her bed. What on earth would I do without you? So here is a smile girlfriend

, here is a hug "*!HUGG*!" and here are some kisses XXXX.
Our friendship spans the internet, and goes all the way to the electrolysis clinic. Doesn't get much more personal that that! So don't make me fly 3500 miles this afternoon. Let's save that for sometime when I don't have to bathe in bug dope just to walk to the end of the driveway.
I suspect that your angst has something to do with Memorial Day. We have all lost friends and comrades, but to remember and to honor is not to mourn them once again. To reflect on personal injury we need not relive the terror. Bodies age, minds can stay fresh. I'm there with you my sister, now and always.
Julie
