4 GREAT WOMEN

This entry is dedicated to 4 great women who have made such a difference in my life.

Nikki- Nikki manages a home for special needs clients, and in spite of having such a crazy schedule, she always finds time to spoil me. And yet all I do for her is offer an ear for her to vent. I can tell her anything, and I know she will never judge me. She always gives 150% of herself to anyone she loves, and for that I love her back.

Yolanda- (Dina to all who've seen my facebook profile) I call her "Mujer" which is Spanish for "Woman" Yolanda manages the motel where mom and I stay, and she is always my ray of sunshine. Always smiling, always laughing, and always sending me gifts on facbook, and chatting on Yahoo. Yolanda is my playmate, and to me she's like family. I can tell her the dirtiest of jokes, and if I stayed in CA, I'd end up at 400 lbs. with her sweets, and homemade doughnuts!

Dawne- What can I say about my Dawne-Dawne, except that she's the biggest pain in the ass that you can imagine! She drives me crazy with her ditsy brain and truck driver manners. But for whatever reason she's dumb enough to love me, and I can't help loving her back. Like I offer my ear to Nikki, Dawne is my sounding board, and my "Lady In Waiting" waiting for what, I don't know, but waiting none the less.

Elyse- To the world she's one of the four History Detectives, but to me she's one of dearest women I've known, and part of this group of four women that are so precious to me. No matter how busy she is, or how far away she is, she always finds the time to email, text, or call me. What sets her apart from most women with brains and a pretty face, is that she has a heart of gold.

All four of you have given me so much, that I can't ever begin to pay you back. You've given me the strength to face anything, yet you all make me feel safe to admit when I can't take it anymore. Now when I'm at my lowest point, once again through your love and friendship, I somehow find the courage to keep on fighting, and to kick this GD cancer out of my body. Thank God for all of you, I don't know why he blessed me with you four, but I will always thank him in my prayers. May all the blessings you've given be returned a 1,000 fold, and may we all grow old together, with laughs, smiles, and love!!!!
