| HOW DO I START TO EXPRESS HOW I FEEL THERE IS SOMEONE IN MY LIFE THAT'S SO REAL HER PRESENCE I HAVE FELT, BUT NEVER SEEN ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS OF HOW LOVELY SHE GLEAMS TO THE BEST OF MY MEMORY, IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT WHEN I ON MY COMPUTER ARRIVED AT A SITE REQUESTS FOR PRAYER WERE BEING PUT ON LINE MY EYES SEEMED TO BE DRAWN TO THIS PARTICULAR KIND I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE, WE HAD A NEED SO ALIKE THAT I FELT LED NOT ONLY TO PRAY, BUT TO WRITE HERE I WAS POURING OUT MY HEART TO ONE UNKNOWN ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS AND HOW SHE WAS NOT ALONE SEVERAL DAYS, SLIPPED BY AND NO RESPONSE CAME I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WELL MAYBE I WAS TO BLAME AND THEN ONE DAY OUT OF THE BLUE, I SAW COME IN HER NAME I SPIED AND QUICKLY OPENED TO A POEM SHE HAD PENNED. BUT NOT REALLY TO ME, IT SEEMED I WAS ON A MAILING LIST SO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, DID I SIGN UP, WHAT IS THIS? THIS WENT ON FOR QUITE A WHILE, ONE OR TWO A WEEK NEVER A NOTE, NOT A WORD, CAN'T THIS WOMAN SPEAK? WITH EVERYONE I POLITELY REPLIED, "THANK YOU AND SEND MORE" WHICH OF COURSE SHE ALWAYS DID, I HAVE LOTS TO STORE I FINALLY, PRINTED EACH ONE AND STARTED A FILE WHICH BY TODAY IS QUITE A STOCKPILE SO FINALLY ONE DAY JUST OUT OF THE BLUE, I GOT THIS THANK YOU! WELL, ALAS, SHE DOES EXIST AND I WAS HAPPY SHE KNEW THAT I WAS JUST A COUNTRY GIRL, WHO WANTED TO BE HER FRIEND I WAS SO PROUD THAT AFTER THAT DAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS. SHE'S SUCH AN ANGEL WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND LIVES SO FAR AWAY WE TALKED ALOT ON MESSENGER, AUDIO SO WE CAN HEAR WHAT WE SAY SHE'S NOT BEEN WELL IN A VERY LONG TIME AND NOT UP TO OUR DAILY CHATS I TRULY MISS MY DEAREST, BESTEST FRIEND, AND I WISH I WAS WHERE SHE'S AT SHE LIVES AWAY UP NORTH, WHERE SNOW HAS JUST SINCE GONE WE STILL WRITE AND LOVE EACH OTHER, MY "SIS" IN NEWFOUNDLAND SHE HAS A NAME THAT'S VERY WELL KNOWN AMONG THE POET SET AND I'M BLESSED TO KNOW YOU, ANN HART, STILL SWEETER YET.
