I loved this article yet again – you have a way with words mate in person and on paper – The gift of conversation – its amazing how much more normal you feel after talking out loud!! – I appreciate the moments that I make happen to spend time with my circle of friends – they are ( you included) the “gems” that I could not do without in my life …friendship has always meant a lot in my life due to being an only child and well didn’t matter not having sisters I just met them along the way in my journey through life.
