THROUGHOUT THIS ORDEAL THERE HAVE BEEN THOSE I CALL FRIEND WHO HAVE STOOD WITH ME NO MATTER HOW BAD IT GOT FOR ME, AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW BAD IT GOT FOR THEM.
IN SPITE OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID AND DONE TO THOSE I CALL FRIEND, THEY HAVE STOOD BY ME.
THERE IS THE RECENT FRIEND QB. SOMEONE UNKNOWN WHO FOR REASONS ONLY QB KNOWS, CHOSE TO SACRIFICE AND ENDURE THE CONSEQUENCES OF BEING MY FRIEND AND ALLY.
FOR THAT, QB, I GIVE YOU MY THANKS.
TO KARI. SOMEONE WHO WAS ONE OF THE 'ROOMIES' FROM DAY ONE, WHO HERSELF EMERGED TO COME TO THE AID OF A FRIEND. SHE ALSO HAS ENDURED THE STIFF PRICE TO BE ON MY SIDE AS A FRIEND.
TO LOVES, OUR FAVORITE MASCOTT WHO HAS HAD TO ENDURE THE WORST, YET SHOWS US HER STRENGTH BY ENDURING AND BEING THERE FOR ALL OF US.
TOO ALL THE OTHER UNNAMED FRIENDS, MY THANKS TO YOU ALL. YOU HAVE ALL ENDURED AND CONTINUED TO ENDURE WHAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE OF ME. I DO NOT DESERVE YOUR SACRIFICES AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT.
IT IS A DEBT I WILL FOREVER HAVE AND CAN NEVER REPAY.
TO THOSE WHO WERE MY FRIENDS BUT ARE NO LONGER. I DO GIVE YOU THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DID WHEN ONCE WE WERE FRIENDS. WE HAVE GONE OUR DIFFERENT WAYS FOR WHATEVER REASONS CAME BETWEEN US. IT IS ONE OF THOSE UNDENIABLE FACTS OF LIFE THAT SOME FRIENDS WILL NOT REMAIN THAT WAY AND WILL, INSTEAD BECOME ENEMYS.
I SAVE THE LAST BUT MOST IMPORTANT THANKS TO A FRIEND WHO MUST REMAIN ANONYMOUS. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME SOMETHING SPECIAL TO UPLIFT ME ON THIS, THE BIRTHDAY OF MY LOST FRIEND, MY SON, JOHN.
YOU MY DEAREST FRIEND SUFFERED THE MOST, ENDURED THE MOST, AND SACRIFICED THE MOST.
I WILL BE ETERNALLY GREATFULL FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE AND HAVE GONE THROUHGH.
I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE TO ME.
MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU AND MAY GOD FOREVER LOOK OUT FOR YOU.
TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS, MY THANKS.
MURT
