Momma,
Thank you so much for this. I believe it says it all. We're all in such a rush that we expect everyone else to drop what they're doing and really don't consider that they have just as much to be in a rush about as we do - sometimes even more.
I'm coming to know people on the boards and am beginning to develop friendships here that I really don't want to see disappear. But it's also shown me that I've let several old friendships fall by the wayside because of distance and time.
So again, I thank you for this because it has made me stop and reflect about what I actually give to and be as a friend to others. I think I need to go buy some lumber and nails now...
