John Latendresse is a very special friend of mine. He is always helping people. He also does a lot of volunteer work.

Currently one placement is with the Humane Society going to hospitals and the like with pets so the

patients can pet them and play with them. Awesome! Recently, he has had some strange things happen and it has left him feeling

pretty low about it not to mention confused. So, I would like to Dedicate this page to him.

I was so shocked that his friends could do what they did to upset with him.

You see, John is a web designer/master with a very creative mind and a very good sense of humour.

As well, he is passionate for many things. Some time ago, he developed a website about Animal Rights. It was targeted at Poachers.

His ideas for this site were very well thought out, and organized and fun at the same time.

This is a very talented guy with a passion to see others do well and be happy.

He would never do anything to hurt a soul intentionally.

One day, about a month or so ago, a female friend of his saw his website about Poachers.

I just can’t figure out what could have made her feel offended by it.

What ever it was, it inspired her to go around telling people that know him that he was “evil.”

Evil? Goodness, he is nowhere near evil. This friend of his must have misinterpreted what she saw or read on his site.

I’ve gone to his site often and never felt offended by it at all.

I feel he has the choice to find his own way to creatively express his views – as we all do right.

So, because this caused him some anguish, and he lost so many friends because of this friend, that he deleted the website.

I owe so much of my sanity to John. He has inspired me in so many creative and funny ways.

I really feel I understand John well. From the first time I met him I knew there was something very good about him.

I’d like to share something with you. About a month after I met John at a Discussion Group Meeting,

We greeted one another with a hug. Wow, what a hug it was. It’s the first time I had ever felt a hot fire from someone’s chest

When I was being hugged. I had a strong sense that this wasn’t an ordinary hug. I felt a special bond happen.

It’s like he passed something to me from deep within himself. Even he doesn’t understand the impact of that feeling it had on me.

I guess I was only meant to feel it and know that he is a pure hearted soul.

From that point on, we’ve been dear friends. I can’t tell you how many hours of laughter he has brought into my life.

At one point from 2001 to 2003, had it not been for the laughter we shared, I don’t know what state of mind I could be in today.

In my heart, to me, he is a lifeline. He was a gift from god to me that was sent like an angel to keep me safe from sadness’ harm, cause

Sadness can be pretty distressing, and somehow, I just knew we were destined to meet because of that November Hug in 1996.

Wow, I can go on and on forever about this person, but all I really wanted to let you know from this is – an understanding of how

Love works. Love's the feeling in your heart that is true. It doesn't lie. Love just is. John and I love one another very much but we are not a couple. By having him as a friend I have learned so many valuable things about healthy male and female relationships. (coming from me that is a rare thing. relationships I’ve had in the past prior to meeting john would fail or just dwindle off. Not with us though. I can't live without calling him several times a week, and we are not a couple. We never will be.

People like John exist all over the world. They are the givers. And we all know that givers get a lot of flack. The more they give,

They find so many more out there are so ungrateful, and unkind. So, on that note, I leave you with some poetry:
