I knew from the day that we met,
Special friends we would be.
Just had that special feeling that,
Sometimes falls on me.

We always have so much to share,
And time goes by so fast.
I know this is a special friendship,
That will forever last.

You often make me smile and laugh, You just have that special "know how",
To brighten up each day.

Your caring ways and thoughtfulness,
Just never seems to end.
It means so much to have you as,
A very special friend.

You fill my life with so much joy,
With the thoughtful things you do.
I thank our Father for giving me,
A dear friend such as you.

I would like to dedicate this page to a woman I have known for many
years now, love like a sister but have never met. She has been with me
through laughter and many many tears. She has always stood by me no
matter the circumstances, never wavering the sisterly love she had for
me.

There would be times I would take my frustrations and my anger at the
world out on her, but she never spoke harshly to me nor never threw
her hands up in the air and said "I've had it!".

I have a" real "  flesh and blood sister in real life, however, she has
chosen to not be a part of my life.

I adopted Laura aka Peaches as my sister. She took me under her wing
without even blinking an eye. When others were throwing stones at
me, she was shielding me with her caring and loving arms.
I have shared many many secrets with her and have never hesitated to
tell her anything and everything.

About 3 years ago I thought I had lost track of my precious sister. I
had moved to Australia and she was in the process of moving to
another state.

After 16 months in Oz, I came back to the states and spent hours trying
to find my lost sister. I guess I went through a grieving process for
awhile, but my heart never truly gave up hope.

Well, this year my sister called me on the phone!!! They were having
hard times and she really didn't have a access to a telephone. It's been
awhile again, but last night I checked my email and there was a letter
from her once again! She had finally gotten a place for her, her hubby
Doug and her kiddos therefore able to hook up her computer.
We got together today 12-11-03 on msn and chatted. It felt like old
times and I was once again wrapped in a familiar blanket, I found my
sister once again, swearing to never part again.

Sis, I love you and you know this. You have put up with my moodiness
and sometimes strong attitude without ever uttering a angry word at
me. You have caught many tears and given me advice that saved me
from alot of pain. I consider you my "real" sister from the bottom of
my heart, and I hope and pray one day we will meet face to face. But
you know, if we never get the chance, that is ok too, because I carry
you with me wherever I go, in my heart.

I love you Laura, always and forever!

This song, her and her husband sent to me in a email when I was going
through rough times, and I have cherished the song since. The part
" God Gave Me You"  meant they thought I was special.
