…..of you today.
This is for you….
Friendship ~
I think that there shall never be a friend as dear as you to me;
A friend of whom I’m always sure,
Who’s faith and loyalty endure.
Through tears or laughter, loss or gain,
though days be fair or drenched in rain.
A friend who's glad heart-warming smile,
Has cheered my way for many a mile;
Who magnifies the good in me,
Yet overlooks the faults there be.
Good friends are often found, ‘tis true,
But Heaven sends a friend like YOU.
…from the writings of Maurine Hathaway

Lovely. I was just thinking of you while I was out today. Funny, since we don't know each other.
Hugs to you today.
Did you know what a special person you are? An inspiration to all! I found you last year, actually, when I read about your loss of your handsome son, Jordan, on someone else's blog. I have thought about you and your family everyday and remembered you in my prayers. I look forward to reading your post everyday and LOVE your pictures. God Bless you. I love the poem and your lovely post.

What a beautiful poem and what a wonderful photo!
Have a joy-filled week Becky!
Dear Becky,
After Patrick's death, I don't know what I would have done with my little Winnie. She was always there beside me no matter where I went. When I cried for endless hours she would press against me and nuzzle my hand. You could tell she knew something was terribly wrong.
Watching her those first weeks sit at the door waiting for Patrick was awful.
Years later when I lost Frank, I had Mele with me. Winnie had passed away by then leaving me heart broken and a year later I was presented with Mele. At first I didn't want a dog...and then came the Mele! :)
Mel was the same way Winnie was. I don't think anyone has a truer friend then our dear pets. Always faithful...always there.
I'm sending my love and warm thoughts to you, Becky.
Seldom a day goes by that I don't think of you at some point. We don't visit each other often you and I, but I hope you know I am always here.
Mona
What a great photo!!!!
We've been keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Becky.....

Thinking of you and your family.
I will email you in a few days....to long to leave a comment via the blog :)
What a beautiful poem..of course I just love your pups :)
Becky, Thanks so much for putting up the link when I had the giveaway! Now, can you explain to this blog girl (who still knows so little!) about how to do that? I have tried using a gadget in HTML/Java by using the link I copied and pasted, but I am not getting anywhere! If you had the time could you email me at
1missmisha@gmail.com
If not, I certainly understand :)

beautiful poem.. thanks for making my day
Speaking of friends, I just saw Mona's post a little while ago. Thank you for the sweet comments. The whole lot of you had me in tears! These friendships were a completely unexpected benefit of blogging! I was also by Penny's earlier and her bowl of croquet balls inspired by you looks wonderful in her new home. Another gem in blogland!
I've notice so many pretty country photos when you're out with the dogs. Is this a view from your fence? It's amazing!
Hugs,
Dawn
You are a sweetheart Becky and loved by so many!
Hugs,

Your poem is lovely, and your Scottie is precious. I have one who lives across the street from me, and I love him dearly. His name is Barclay. :-)
I know you wrote this post about 5 months ago. I just found your blog and was scrolling through. I found this post and just wanted to let you know that it touched me. Thanks for sharing it and thanks to your son for service! I am constantly amazed by the men and women that serve our country! It makes me nervous as well since my son is wanting to do it as well.
Again thanks and my thoughts are with you and your family.
