I know I'm one of the whiniest people around sometimes (besides maybe Darien, hehe) but you have no idea how helpful it's been to have some people who I could always count on to be here and to cheer me up. Things have been really tough this year... school, family, guys.... lots of weird stuff has been going on, but you guys have been here through all of it (whether you wanted to be or not). Some of the stuff that's been going you don't even know about... and that stuff's only going to get weirder in the next month.

I consider many of you truly my friends and many of you are closer to me than some of my "real life" friends are, even though you're way farther away in age.

I agree, absolutely. We all may drink from the same well. Yet there are those who give and share even more freely of themselves; they above all are blessed... Their presence blesses us all. Thank you, Lynette.
