You know what galls me sometimes? The fact that so many people only remember the good things about someone after they are dead and gone!!  Whatever happened to celebrating the good in someone while they are still here on this earth and letting them know then what you really think of them while they are alive and able to hear your words?

Well I decided to be different! This entire section is "Dedicated To My Best Friend-Donna"

Donna is as I like to jokingly refer - "my partner in crime" - in other words she is the person who is there for me when I feel the rest of the world is somewhere else. Donna is the person that I lean on when I am down and out and blue. Whether there is a reason for my tears or not she is the one who listens and is there no matter what time of day or what she is doing.

She never asks for credit for anything she does and she never expects diddly squat for anything she does for me. All she asks is my respect and honesty and loyalty. 

I wanted to say thank you to Donna for everything she does for me and so I invented this section just for her. She is as they say "unamused" with me for being as she says "mushy". At first she didn't want to even put it up for me but I whined and pouted and she finally gave in.  : )  LOL !

In nearly 48 years of life I have never had a friend quite like Donna. Someone who accepts me exactly as I am and does not try to change me to fit into a role of what others may think a friend should be. There are no secrets between our friendship and she knows exactly who I am and where I've been, good or bad. To Donna I am just the silly old "spaniel" and she takes me as I am -  whatever the day brings.

She tells me I am "mushy", "a soft touch", "silly" and many other adjectives, but all are said with a loving giggle and I can see her smiling over the phone or in the email as she is saying them. When she is the slightest perturbed with me she finds a way to get through to me as only a true friend can. When I am perturbed with myself or down and blue she finds a way to bring me back. When I have writers block or an idea plays in my head and it won't quite come to the surface she is there to help me give birth to it. 

Without further ado (we don't want Donna to be too embarrassed) I will let you read in this section different things that I have either written myself or found that pertain to my feelings for my best friend. 

Donna my friend, the following writings are for you. "God" blessed me with a wonderful friend in you. I will cherish your friendship always.

Love,
Misker

February 2008 - For some reason I do not truely understand Donna and I drifted apart over the last couple of years. But I will never forget the friendship and things we shared. Donna was the first "true" female friend I ever had in my life that I truely trusted completely and my heart hurts that she has moved on without me. But I know there is a reason and a season for all things. I just find it hard to accept is all. Where ever you are Donna I hope you remember the special friendship we shared. If you ever need me just pick up the phone and I will be there. When I swore to be your friend for life I meant it.
