#68 Thank You
During a recent bout with depression, a friend of mine came to the rescue and let me cry on her shoulder. She got me through it all and told me she cares. I really needed to know that someone cared. To her, I say Thank you!

Thank You
I could write for hours, Use the finest words in Webster's, Fill pages upon pages with verse - Only two words are needed, Two words are everything I want to say: Thank you. Two words, two syllables So tiny, In these words I say so many things - You are very special, Holding my hand when the world is too much, Hugging me when I can not bear life: Thank you. I have shown you my heart of hearts, The person inside I am afraid to reveal. Your sweet words and sweet face, Bringing me back from the edge, All I can do is . . . Thank you. |

RuthIt's 30 years on June 1 since I survived a bilateral mastectomy followed by 3 years of chemotherapy. My daughter is giving me a luncheon and invited those who supported me during that time. I'm reading "Thank You" to my supporters. It says it all.
