You all make the day much brighter around here. I haven't been able to show my friend this yet, I saw him this morning, and he is happy with everyones presence. Funny, we got on seperate avenues for a while when he went to S.A., and then after being back for a year, a lot of friends were trying to get me to talk to 'Goerge', another old 'Fart' who was a computer geek. (We used to be just about as far away from geek as you can get, and by old, I mean comparitively, for new propellerheads.(and I mean ale, wclew!)

So, of course on day after hearing this about each other for at least 9 months, we'll, we played it a bit, pretend to be psychic and seem to know to much, just like old buds, but, ahem, "never having met before - "Oh, nice to finally meet you blah, etc LOL"

We are at opposing directions, I guess, in our beliefs, but we arrive at thesame view of what life is about for ourselves, the trek that Little Lightbeam is on. Spreading help, showing love, being caring and considerate, and acting totally silly and laughing until it hurts so much in your stomach muscles the next day.

I realized myself about 9 years ago, suddenly I wanted to make every second of time count, and never waste it on anger and judging.

Now I am with a man love as my own brother, and I want him to be okay so much, and I know it just seems unreal, you just still talk about important things, and still laugh the same, and then later cry so hard your stomach hurts the next day.

Thanks ERJS, and everyone, I will keep this up, but I hope I am not crying so hardnnext time, and wish we all were aware of how much each of us really means to each other.
We are all facing the battles in life, just at different times, but we have to remember to see each other as teammates and family who sometimes make mistakes, not adversaries trying to hurt anyone.

We are all trying to be good, we are all priceless.
