Reminde...Lovely post, thanks for sharing that mail. Reminded me of a friend who did make a difference by always being there but somehow we have fallen apart. Can't do anything now as the whole thing has blown out of proportions and then my other friends will think that I have joined hands with enemy, if they come to know that I have contacted her. Why does it have to be so complicated?? These other friends have made a difference too but so has the ex-friend.....<BR/><BR/>Don't know why I am writing this, but your post made me think about this dear friend I lost. I did tell her how much I appreciated her while we were still friends. I wish I could give a blue ribbon to her along with my other friends and family.<BR/><BR/>The boss sitting his son down to tell him how he has made a difference and saves him from commiting suicide, is a good reminder - to let others know asap how much their action( or non-action as in your case) meant to us, cos we don't know what life has in store for us the very next moment.<BR/><BR/>Very touching post, Usha.

I have learnt early in life to always express feelings and affection openly coz I do not want to feel bad later in life about the missed opportunities. I am lucky to have found a life partner who appreciates and expresses love without inhibitions. I appreciate and thank hubby dear even for mundane jobs like taking time out and cleaning cobwebs (not reachable by me), moving a heavy piece of furniture, etc. He thanks me for cooking food and doing household jobs such that he is left free to pursue his career. A little appreciation and love goes a long way in healing this world and making it a better place to live not only for us but also for others.Lavshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754910261878461646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-56446899538577590882008-01-13T04:53:00.000+07:002008-01-13T04:53:00.000+07:00that was a great post usha.that was a great post usha.Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-33337539748492028862008-01-12T14:37:00.000+07:002008-01-12T14:37:00.000+07:00Thank you....It boosted up my confidence...Thank you....<BR/>It boosted up my confidence...Prashanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302183956027777487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-87755364703138007962008-01-12T10:52:00.000+07:002008-01-12T10:52:00.000+07:00I have always liked Milton's line, "They also serv...I have always liked Milton's line, "They also serve who stand and wait" that you have used.
