Junior High/High School : For this group there are many I have reconnected with via MySpace or Facebook, but the 2 that really stand out that have been there and still are here are Shannon and Jennifer. Our lives may be crazy but those 2 have been beyond wonderful and there when I needed them. So thank you for making my life easier, your advise, your friendship, just being there I do appreciate that.
Post High School : First off My Friend Sandy who was there when my life was falling apart and some how we have always maintained some connection and contact. Your Strength and wisdom has been a real blessing for me and I appreciate that ever so much.
Joe who helped to show me the reality of a dream made true. With out your encouragement I would not have done the business ventures I have and really the 2.5 years we were together were full of laughs and fun. I also got a part in help develop the wonderful person your daughter Sara now is and I treasure that. The fact that we remain so close after so long and I count you as one of my dearest friends !!!
Len a friend who I looked up to as my "gay dad " the first of my chosen family. Your wisdom and guidance at many times has been a blessing. Because of you I met Bill. You were there during some very challenging times and no matter what I am who I am in part of you and all I have learned about life from you.
Bill, Our 4 years together taught me things I never knew, you showed me what fun could be had, inspired me to buy my first home when I never thought I could ( and a brand new one at that !! ). You have been there for me since we broke up, came to Canada to see me and Jack and even since my return from Canada in 2003 you have been there. We may not run into each other as much now but the memories remain and we can pick up where we left off when we do meet. Also to have known your family and to have shared time with them has been a wonderful experience as well.
Jack, The wild man from Canada, we met by fluke, I never thought that we would spend 6 wonderful years together, that I would immigrate to Canada to be with you. That I would have the chance to help raise Erin and Joshua. To the many good times, wild times, the memories are forever. I cherish our friendship to this day as you my best friend and look forward to the day when we can visit again in person, till then I will take the phone calls and e-mail.
Doug, With you I have a special friendship in that you and I have discussed so much about ourselves, lives, desires, goals, dreams, we shared such heart felt things. As your friend I fell lucky to have you. Your going places in life and I look forward to hearing all about them. I know that I could come to you with any issue and you could help me through it...You have wisdom beyond your years and think so much like I do...I treasure it.
Aaron, You and I have for the past 6 years crossed paths many times and getting to know you better has been a real treasure for me. Your such a kind and gentle person and someone I cherish having in my life. The future is all open and I look forward to many good times involving you.
Also in the past 6+ years I have been fortunate to have the following people as friends and because of them I am so much more enriched as a person. Robert R. Mandy R. Robert M Plus all the people I worked with for the 4 years prior to cancer and you know who you are.
Yes I have Been Blessed with some very wonderful friends and with out them I would be lesser a person. I may not have mentioned everyone as this would be 3 times bigger, but know that if we are friends than I cherish the friendship and the good times we have.
To End this I am going to post something from Facebook that I really like and I think sums it all up !!!
