As everyone knows, this is my pen-pal I met over tossing a message in a bottle... Denise Chapman was once a former FDNY/EMS employee, who was injured in the line of duty back in May of 1996. We have been friends ever since, and I had the opportunity of going and visiting her and her family, in New York, Brooklyn to be exact, from October 6- 15. With all that has been happening in New York, it didn't stop me from meeting my friend. Things like this you have to put aside, cause really what are friends for. I'm so glad that we connected. I think we all need someone in our life that can provide us with that special feeling, knowing that there is one person you can turn to for anything. To have a special girlfriend is something that goes beyond the realm of friendship and into a bond that is more like family, only better, because we can't choose our family. I know myself I have very few girlfriends that I really connect with, so when you have a friend like I have in Denise, treasure it, because it don't come along very often. It is so nice to see people loving each other, the world honestly could take a lesson from us to...
Please see next page for my trip to visit my friend... Enjoy!! |
