Why God Made Friends
God made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,
And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who'll understand.
He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;
A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.
God made friends so we'll carry a part
Of His perfect love in all our hearts.
Thank you for all the lovely things you do for Rebecca and for all the support you give to me, despite your own grief, which makes an unbearable situation just a little easier to get through.

True friends will always stay with you,
Through good times and through bad.
They’ll take the time to listen,
When something’s made you sad.
When you’re feeling lonely,
They’ll let you know they care.
They may be very busy but,
They’ll find the time to share.
True friends are happy for you,
When good things come your way.
They’ll celebrate your triumphs
And encourage you each day.
If you have a friend that’s true,
Count your blessings for this gift.
For, she will stay with you forever,
When the rest have gone adrift.
THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND
AND FOR ALL YOUR LOVE & SUPPORT
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Outside it may be dark and dreary,
The clouds dull and grey.
The rain just keeps on coming.
No flowers to pick for a bouquet.
But as long as we have computers
And an email I can send,
You’ll always have sunshine
My dear GTS friend.

Dear Lisa,
May the love of God give you peace.
May the love of friends give you comfort.
May the love of your beloved Jasmine remain in your heart and give you strength through the days ahead.
Lots of love.

MAY MEMORIES AND LOVE LIVE ON
When we leave this earth plane,
the love that we have given and received remains behind
to light the lives of those we touched.
Each memory a candle burning bright.
THINKING OF YOU AND WISHING YOU COMFORT,LOVE AND HEALING.

Hello Lisa,
Perhaps you don’t know but it’s National Poetry Day today so I thought I would do something a little different and let you read a poem which Rebecca wrote when she was 7 years old. Poetry was something very close to Rebecca’s heart and she had written and read poetry since being a young girl.
Her Teacher at Junior School asked the kids to write a poem about a part of their body and this is what she wrote.
Hope you enjoy it!
SKIN
On our bodies there are two layers of skin,
one layer is fat and one layer is thin.
Our skin starts to stretch when our bones start to grow
and goosepimples come when the wind starts to blow.
Some skin is yellow, some skin is white,
some skin is dark and some skin is light.
Our nails are a skin, a special kind too;
I have got them and so have you.
But it doesn’t really matter what colour your skin;
It’s not whats on the outside but what is within.

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 sometimes cry.
Thank you for just being there
This morning I searched my wallet.
It was empty.
Then, I checked my pockets
I found a few coins
I then searched my heart and found you.
Then, I realized how rich I really am...
Thanks for being my friend and e-mail buddy!
May you be as rich as I am

Dear Lisa,
I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!
♥ ♥ ♥
Your friendship and support means so much to me
and I thank God we have people like you in this world.
Together we can show that love and kindness is far
stronger than any bad or evil
♥ ♥ ♥
You're very welcome Lisa. Hope you are managing to plod on as best you can. It is difficult when there are so many reminders everywhere we turn.
I know Rebecca was quite a lot older than Jasmine but they were both in education and at this time of the year there is so much in the shops about going back to school and perhaps you see Jas' friends starting their new year at school. Your heart breaks doesn't it.
I know that this would be Rebecca's final year at Uni and it just seems that everywhere I look there is something to do with going to Uni and it just makes it all so much worse.
Well, take care Lisa. Doesn't Jas look like you? I saw such a striking resemblance when I saw your photo.
Much love.
