    During this difficult time, after my husband passed I have also learned what friendship isn't and that some will never understand the true meaning of friendship and love. Some will pretend they are there for you but they really are not. I actually pity them. I am grateful for those friends that I do have and those who truly understand the meaning of love. Scott, thank you for showing me the light and for sending special individuals to me to help me and guide me through this difficult time-- I'll take as many as you can send. I am learning ---you know my heart better then anyone - I have to be careful who I give my friendship and love too - but I now know you will always guide me since you already have. I will always love you! One piece of advice was given to me by a friend that I will never forget - he said this to me when I was worried that I was making the wrong decisions or not doing the right thing, he said, and I quote "Remember, whatever you do in the course of dealing with all you have, it is the right thing to do". I wrote this piece of advice on a post it note and placed it near my computer to remind me, as well as him reminding me almost daily. Thank you so much for this advice and for your friendship, Mike. I will never forget you for being there for me and allowing me to cry on your shoulder when I need/needed to. Drew, thank you so much for being there when I needed you the most - for caring enough to listen to me at a time when I was so down. I will never forget you and the friendship, love, understanding, and kindness you gave to me. You are a God sent - just maybe Scott sent you to me when I needed you the most. God Bless You and thanks for the song - it is beautiful and maybe someday I can hear you sing it. :-) Marilyn, Chris, and Harriet (momby) thank you for all your love, support, and your great listening ears. I love all of you dearly -- I am glad Scott got his message across to you first. :-) That was simply amazing. Cathy, thank you so much for being with me when Scott passed - I love you and we experienced a moment most never experience and it was peaceful and serene and I was honored to be there with Scott and to have you with me. Larry, thank you for calling me and checking on me to make sure I am okay-I really appreciate it. Mom, thank you for being there for me all my life, but especially the last 2 years. I know things have not been easy and I know how difficult it was for you. You are my greatest support and I don't know what I would have done without you. Thank you soooo much. I love you dearly and Scott loved you like a Mom (Ma), but you already know that, don't you! Thank you to Aunt Jackie and Uncle Jay for the love and support you gave to Scott and I. Scott loved you both very much and I love you also. Thank you to Ann, Eileen, Phyllis G, Sharron, the many online friends who have offered a listening ear for me, Pat B and all those at hospice, all of Scott's caregivers and anyone that offered their help and guidance during the most difficult time in our lives. Victoria M - thank you so much for the beautiful service you did for Scott-it was amazing and suited just for Scott. Also, thanks for introducing me to the Buddhist Prayer Wheel Pendant - Now I have one to wear also. Thank you again to everyone and anyone who has done anything either during Scott's illness or after he passed either by sending a card, emailing, texting, calling on the phone, etc. and please forgive me if I failed to mention you by name. All of your kindness has touched my heart more then you will ever know.
