I would have to say that I have been fortunate to find this friend over the internet, about 10 years ago. And she IS the best!

We chatted for a long time, before we ever truly met face to face. And I think the reason we were brought together was to make each other strong. For we both were going thru our own VERY hard struggles in life at the time. But, we stuck by each other thru thick and thin, and I think that is what built the hardcore relationship that we do have today!

I was fortunate enough to have lived with Jo, twice in my lifetime that I've known her. First, was when she lived in Greenfield, Indiana. I stayed with her for about 2-3 months, until one day I had to leave her home for some reasons I care not to mention. It wasn't anything that happened between Jo and myself, we never had a cross word. But, I took a few wrong turns in my life and had to deal with those moves, I made. But, even then we kept in pretty close contact.

When I finally was over with my ordeal, I went and lived with Jo and her family in Fort Worth, Tx. I will never forget that day. It was my second time in an airplane. And I was nervous as hell! And I as never so glad when our plane landed, and I departed off of it. I remember getting off the plane wondering how am I suppose to be able to find Jo and her family who were waiting for me. Well, needless to say they seen me first. In fact, I didn't even know they were there til I was on my way to the ladies room and someone grabbed my arm. I didn't know if it was some nut, or what, which made me get my guard up, just in case. Then when I turned aroun, I seen who it was It was Jo!! And her whole family was there to with BIG smiles on their faces, and alot of hugs going around.

Well, I stayed with Jo and her family in Tx, for about 3 months I think. Then I met the guy of my dreams. Which then, I left Jo's home and made my new life with him and his kids.

I have to tell you, if you have been lucky enough in your lifetime to have found yourself a "TRUE" friend, who you would trust with your life, never let that go!! If I were ever to lose, Jo, I truly think my life would be over. For, I turn to her for any type of advice I am seeking, or just to talk with someone. She has always been here for me whenever I needed her.

So, what I want to say is this....Thank you Jo, for always being there when I needed you. For sticking by me, when at times we both knew you should of turned around and left me, where I was! You have made me see alot of things in life, that I never thought I would see. You gave me faith, and hope when I thought my whole life was tumbling down upon me! I owe you so much, but all you ask in return is my friendship and my love. And, that IS what you have! Thank you!!!
