Truly I am blessed to have so many of them, from all around the world. And yes some of us go like waaaay back. And anyone I call a friend is someone I treasure, love and respect. Of course I may not be able to keep in touch with them as much as I'd like to, but whenever we catch up, it's just amazing a feeling and you wonder why you waited away so long.
Mimi...your friends must still love your thoughtful gestures though quite clearly unable to reciprocate in the same way, so keep up the good work girl and spread the love!
And yes, you can't leave QL..we won't let ya =D
