I wasn't sure where to put this and I didn't want to cover up anyone else's post. A friend shared this with me and she doesn't know who wrote it.

The Friends We Meet Online

The true friends who we meet online
Are a very special kind
They pierce your shields and see within
The corners of your mind.


They're always there when you're in need
With their power to discern.
They feel your pain.....
They offer hope and genuine concern.


We bare our souls, expose our hearts
And show our inner fears
And then before you know it
The keyboard's stained with tears.


And if we could see them through that screen
Then no one could deny
That to be a TRUE online friend
They too must cry.

That's great, Laurel. I've been fortunate enough to meet one of the BWS ladies, and I've spoken to three of them on the phone. All wonderful women and a pleasure to know!

Laurel, I'll be in Ada, OK at the end of July. Do you ever meet up with anyone from the forum?

I'll never forget answering the phone soon after my brother died and finding Dotsie and Georgia on the other end! It was an amazingly loving kindness I'll never ever forget. That's the sort of thing only true friends do...

I've been fortunate enough to have spent time with two of you wonderful friends, Dianne and Danita. I missed my chance with Sherri and Kathy, but that won't happen again. It was so fantastic to finally meet. What was so amazing is that it was as if we had been friends for years and years, so comfortable being together.

It is so much fun when you can put a face behind all these stories...even a voice. What a blessing.

One of htese days I'm going to get to Vegas. I hope it's sooner rather than later.

No, Kathy, I haven't, but I would love to meet you. Just let me know where and when. I'll send you a personal email with my cell number.

Ada is a small town east of me. What brings you there?

Laurel
