“A Friend to Lean On” Author Unknown

Life takes some crazy directions sometimes,
Causing changes we can’t hope to anticipate. Even though we try to cope as best we can,
Some things are beyond our control.
We can only accept them
And try to move forward as best we can.
We may have to
Lean on someone else’s shoulder for awhile
But that’s what friends are for.
With a friend, you can make it through anything!

I found this poem a couple of months ago. It is especially meaningful to me since Carl died August 31, 2020. You have let me lean on you. Thank you. Thank all of you for being there for me by sending me emails every day, or calling me, meeting me for lunch, inviting me over for a meal, inviting me to visit, or praying for me. Even though I don’t know you are praying for me,  I can feel your love. I appreciate your love and compassion. Your thoughtfulness and cheerfulness. Thank  you for letting me lean on you. I hope and pray that God will bless each of you in a special way so that you know how much He loves you and how much I love you.
