My Friendship With Luv

Nearly a year ago I met this lovely lady on the internet, her name is Raquel she is a Rican beauty, she is so pretty but a bit shy to go with it, I have never looked back.  My friendship with Raquel has just gotten stronger and stronger.  She has made me a better person then I was.  I value her friendship like she was my own sister, in fact she is like a younger sister to me.  I get on better with her then I do my own sisters. She is just like me in every way, our tastes are the same, it is like we are blood sisters some of the time.  We think alike, we have the same humor she is generous, sometimes too generous, she will help anyone if she can, she puts other people before herself. she trusts anyone, but sometimes I know they let her down.  If I lost Raquel as a friend, it would be like losing a part of me.

Anne 

My Friendship with Anne Means

My Friendship with Anne means much more to me than I thought it ever would.  Anne describes me in many ways that I just don't see myself as.  I have always had the feeling in me to love a friend to have a female friend.  But I could never see it as a real possibility.  In my life here in New York I have met so many people who are not trustworthy.  I have had many people hurt me.  They say they are friends but not in the true sense.  I also have met many people across the net but no one has ever shown me the true dedicated friendship that Anne gave me from the start.  

It was like falling in love.  That special feeling of wanting to talk to them all the time.  Your heart skips a beat when you see the light flash next to their name stating that they have come online.  The pleased expression that comes over you face as they message you and you think " I knew you wouldn't forget me."  And Lord if a Day pass and you don't happen to see them appear either in messenger or via Email you worry that something has happened to them.

It has been an wonderful experience for me to have Anne become my Friend and now my dear Net Sister.  She is so very special to me.  Just like a child I am so jealous over her wanting to keep her all to myself.  Us humans are like that, when we have something good we don't want to share.  But I had to over come this selfishness and learned to share her with others. After all who am I to keep someone so good to myself. 

Darling Anne I love you so much you are like the Other half of my Mind.  The other half of my Self that I have felt is missing.  I know that even though the chances of us ever seeing each other face to face is slim.  We will always be close and best friends.

My Friendship with Raquel (LuvRaqui)

I met LuvRaqui in an online Egroup I was a member of last year
(2000).  The first time I saw her picture, I thought she was so very
beautiful and she reminded me in many ways of my only child, my
daughter Shannon.  They have the same color skin, their eyes are very similar and they are both beautiful.  My friendship with Luv
developed slowly over months.  In late 2000, I became a member of another group, Angels, Angels, Angels and Luv also joined this group.

My life took a drastic and unexpected turn when I suffered brain
damage as a result of a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting at
work.  Suddenly, I was no longer able to work, I was home all the
time, my husband returned to work as an over the road truck driver and I was alone for weeks at a time.  During this time, I turned to the internet to communicate with my family and friends.  Luv and I were becoming better acquainted. I discovered that Luv and I shared many of the same philosophies, beliefs, values and humor.  Soon we were instant messaging each other every day and then many times everyday.

Luv has been such an inspiration to me.  She is wise beyond her
years, she has suffered some incredible hardships, pain and sorrow in her life, yet she is one of the most positive, loving and generous people I have been fortunate enough to met. I feel a very strong bond with her. I feel we are connected and have been for a long long time. I have learned so much from her.  She is very creative and artistic and when we start sharing ideas, we go wild!  I love the Fall and Winter seasons and they have special significance to me... Luv brings me the brilliance of the vivid colors of the fall leaves, she brings me the peace that I feel when I see a new fallen snow undisturbed. She brings me the crispness of the air on a cool autumn day.  She gives me understanding, love and friendship which is limitless.

To find a few people in this world you can call a friend is truly a
blessing and a gift from God.  To find a friend such as Raquel is
just this and more... she is a blessing in my life and one of God's
most precious gifts to me.

Peggy McConnell-Dobbins

 

My Friendship with Peggy Means

Peggy is the most wonderful person I have gotten to meet.  Peggy is so bold and honest.  I never have to put on airs around her.  I can get right down and dirty and she will do the same.  She is one of the most intelligent persons I have met.  I must say I am so in awe of her.

Peggy is my own personal Spell checker.  I can go to her to proof read and give me an honest  opinion  about anything.  We are almost complete opposites.  It seems that anything I like she hates,  and I hate what she likes.  The few things we agree on is Art, Colors, The love of Cheese  ( Even though we like different ones and she thinks the ones I like are nasty hahahaha )  and the most important Honesty and being Non Judgmental.   I believe that the last two are what hold us together like glue.  We don't need to be alike at all.  All we have to do is accept each other for Who we are and the way we live, with out judging them.

Peggy just like myself writes poetry and I feel a kinship with her because she can understand the process.  It is my great pleasure to know her and call her my friend.  With the door open to my heart I am over come with the happiness that Peggy has brought to me.  No mater what I feel, I don't have a need to suppress or hide my feelings or my thoughts with her.  She accepts me as I am.  Her laugh alone can change my mood.  With all the depression,  hurt,  anger boiling inside me.  One simple Hello with her Spring time voice and hearty laugh makes me turn into a simple giggling girl.  

We can spend hours calling each other names and loving every minute never taking it serious. ( AS LONG AS I DON'T CALL HER A CHICKEN OR TOAD hahahaha)  We are just like two young Sisters.  I remember once I saw a movie and there were 2 Sisters in bed laying next to each other telling stories and secrets.  They were so full of the same sprit I feel when talking to Peggy.  As the 2 Sisters locked fingers vowing to never tell anyone the secrets that  have been revealed,  I can picture Peggy and myself in the same embrace.  Eyes shining staring at each other with a devilish gleam.  Smiles wide and bright.  Pinkies locked promising to never tell.  Hiding under  covers with  fluffed pillows to support them. The Air Electric around them.  This image is exactly how I imagine us.

I am so thankful for you Peggy.  You make feel totally accepted for everything I am.  Not just the things you want to see, but all of me.  Thank you for being everything you are.  I love you for it.
