Dear sweet Nephy.
I'm sorry that I wasn't around when you first posted this blog. I guess THAT is when you most needed your friends. But it was quite heartwarming to see the responses above as it is rather obvious that love is not lost on you! You are indeed a treasure.
Nephy, you have NO idea how much you have meant to me over this past year! There has been so much love, wisdom and humour in your posts and the other means of communication! Perhaps if the word 'author' appeared 'neath my "scary" face I would be articulate enough to help you understand what I'm trying to say.
Hang in there, girlie, if for no other reason than to allow me to return a gift that you sent me: a raft full of hugs! BTW--Did you know that hugs can swim? :) tee hee
See ya around, Nephy!
