Change is Incredible...

Dear Friends;

A special friend of mine traveled great distances, in part to see me. He has been gone for the better part of a year, so when I heard he was heading out west, I did what I could to cover the remainder of the distance home.

We met up and talked. And this very shy friend of mine put himself out there and took a risk.

When I declined the invitation, my Dear Friend understood. However, he admitted that I had changed greatly in the past year. It is true, I have. And a lot of changes have happened in the very recent past.

I apologized for not having things turning out the way he expected- for being different. And then he gave me the greatest compliment. He said I was not what he expected- I was so much more. Sometimes it makes all the difference in the world to hear how far we’ve come, how much we’ve grown and changed. And from a man of very few words, to extend himself so far, to share such a gift, is truly priceless and special.

I am lucky indeed.
