Dedication to My Golden Girls- Thank You for Being a Friend

I wanted to share something with all the readers of this blog. During the time away I’ve had a lot of people write and show their support. I’ve been supported by family and a FEW old friends. All the energy and support is very much appreciated. There is one specific group of people that I would like to mention outside of my family and few old friends. I call them my “golden girls.” I have seven women above the age of 55 who show me so much love weekly.  I initially thought that these women made a mistake. I wondered how women their age could even think to write me let alone do it weekly. They send me post cards, letters, photos, cards, magazines, and good energy consistently. I would have never thought that these women would support me during my time away.

 

My family and few old friends could never be replaced but I must say that I made room in my life for my seven “golden girls.” J I soon came to realize that the incarcerated, older women, people who are hospitalized, and the handicapped all share something in common. They feel forgotten and sometimes isolated. I often get history lessons from a few of them and you can see that they seem to value the things you cannot count. The bond I have formed with them will be for life. I appreciate the baby boom love. At the end of the day it’s easy to see that nothing more than the help of loved ones is all that counts. The majority of everything else is temporary. They constantly tell me, “Healthy living and pure relationships will bring peace and gray hairs.” I know a few of them will not be able to read this because they don’t use computers. I will write them and tell them about what I did and hopefully someone will assist them in viewing it. I’m sure it will put a smile on their faces. They will never be forgotten in my world. When things became confusing they showed me the support that my mother, brothers, and girlfriend showed me.

 

My grandmothers passed away many years back. I believe that in some form this is them showering me with their spirits from above. I’m focused on getting even with people who have helped me along the way. The way I can repay them is to be a responsible father and family man. They are counting on me to redeem myself and I will not let myself or them down. I am lucky to have them in my life! “Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again, your heart is true you’re a pal and a confidant. And if you threw a party, invited everyone you ever knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.”
