I look as the clock ticks away its precious minutes today. The end of another year. Much like the Russian dolls that nest inside each other, I will tuck this year in with the others that have passed. There will be times when I will take the inside dolls out to refresh my memory, to [...]

Time Passes
This morning I opened my email to see a note from a special friend waiting for me. I ignored the other messages in my inbox and immediately opened this specific note knowing that I would find words of friendship forged long ago and now being fed over the miles with phone calls and emails.
