But one person alone is truly an empty life, but because you are my very special friend my life is no longer empty. You have so many qualities to make you a wonderful friend. You are there to share the ups and downs of my life. You are the sunshine of my glad days, and the rainbow of my sad days. Thank you for always being there to listen, trying hard to understand me, and somehow knowing how to help. You are the rose among the thorns in my life. You give me your time and your interest so unselfishly. You shelter me from the storms of life. You know me as I am and you understand where l've come from, and where I am headed. You've accepted me for what l've become, but you still encourage me to grow. My friend you are the best part of hard times, the brightest of good times. Thank you for giving me a gentle push when I falter, a kind word when I'm lonely, a guide when I am searching, a smile when I'm sad, and a song when I'm happy. ' Our friendship is like a rosebud, with love, honesty and caring. The rosebud will bloom into a beautiful rose. As long as we continue this caring, the rose will never die and nor will our friendship. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for sending my very special friend to me. You, my friend, are truly a special gift that no one can ever take from me, for God has blessed my life by giving me a very special friend like you. V By Jennifer Benefield

Who cares what I think? cause I love all my children, even if I have a little drink. T I They all call me a drunk, but I know each of their names! And those kids that are confused, well, they say I'm to blame. I always told those kids I love them. But they said they never heard. I only hit them once or twice. Not hard, I give you my word! Maybe I got a little mean sometimes, but only after three or four beers. I was only trying to make 'em mind, but they would all end up in tears. And now that they are older, I think and I take long walks, I wonder if they might send a letter that I could find in my old mailbox. But never a word from those three kids. Guess they never think about me! Please, dear God, l've never asked before. I pray you'll hear my plea! I pray everyday now, Lord, and I haven't touched a drink. I feel such sadness and grief. I'm shaking so bad, I can't even think. Maybe death is the answer, hey Lord? This just isn't workin' out. I haven't heard from nobody. I'm getting myself out of this mess! Please help me, my God. Can't you show me a sign? With all this pain and sorrow, is everything going to be fine? For forty long days and nights, I've been sober and I pray. l'm feeling a little bit better, I think l'II call them. Well, Lord, what do you say? 662-0223 .. . John Hamilton, Jr. I waited for a long while "Dad," the voice said. "Yes!" I said, with a smile. "It's been a long time, Dad. We've all wonderedg no one knew. l'm glad you're alright, 'cause you know, I love you!" My eyes were cloudy with tears, now our start was fresh and new. Thank you, dear Lord, Thank you for everythingg for coming through! By Jeri Wakefield
