~SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR MY VERY BEST FRIEND ON HIS BIRTHDAY!!!!!~
I did not know what to get you for your birthday this year, so I thought I would try something totally different.
This page will allow me to express to you just how special you are to me and how much our friendship means to me. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
I know how much you love birds, so here are a few that should make you smile.
And you believe in Angels, so here are a few guardian angels who are always with you to give you love, peace and joy.
Butterflies are the symbols of freedom, so here are a few to help you remember to keep your dreams alive. Anything is possible if you believe.
Now it is time for me to express to you in my own words how special our friendship is.

Our first meeting was great. I remember how comfortable I felt in your home. You made me feel welcome right from the time you opened the front door. By the way, you make the best Apple Pie on the planet. Our second meeting was a disaster. I still can't believe how rude I was to you that night, and how determined you were to get me to speak to you for more than 3 seconds at a time. Thank heaven for your persistence, because ever since then, we have become the best of friends. We've been through a lot together over the last 4 years: working with bands, leaving bands, moves, and just some great times. Jack, you are the best friend I have ever had. You make me laugh, smile, and cry, sometimes all at the same time. You give of yourself more than anyone I know. You are a strong, courageous young man with a lot of love and compassion in your heart. You are an integral part of my life, Jack, and I would feel lost if you were not in it. Our friendship means more to me than you will ever know.
I am proud, privileged and honored to call you "My Best Friend."
Poems & Phrases
~Miracle of Friendship~
There's a miracle of Friendship
that dwells within the heart
And You don't know how it happens
or where it gets it's start
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
And you realize that friendship
is God's most perfect gift
Many people will walk in and out of your life
But only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart!
~Forever Friends~
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is a Forever Friendship.
When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world seem bright and full.
Your Forever Friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend for life, and forever has no end.
Jack, I have found a "Forever Friend" in you!
~Cherished Friends~
God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings
I think He knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start
He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting...true
And so God answered the heart's great need
With Cherished Friends....like you...
My Precious Friend
I know I have a friend
Who'll stay right by my side
Never judging my mistakes
Only filling meup with pride
My friend, my precious friend
There is not one I know
As loyal and good as you
I have a terrific friend
That friend, my friend, is you
You're patient, kind and caring
And honest through and through
My friend, my precious friend
There are but scattered few
As special as you
I have a wonderful friend
Who can uplift my soul
How did I have such luck
To meet one pure and whole
My friend, my precious friend
I am so lucky
To be blessed by you
Happy Birthday, JackO
May you have many, many, more Happy Birthdays.
Love, Sue
for Jack from Sue
