One of my dearest bellefriends shared an email with me this month me. It touched my heart and soul deeply. I am delighted to share it with you.

Look at these precious little girls in a line holding hands, facing the immensity of ocean waves. Alone they might be washed away. Together they stand strong.
• All of us girls. old and young... near and far... hold special memories of good times we've shared.

• We've had our share of hard times when our friends were there to make us feel better.

• We've shared... our hearts, our time, our secrets, our fears, our hopes and our dreams.

Let us never break the chain of friends!

Thank you each for holding my hand somewhere along the way when I was facing a wave of my own. I hope you will reach for my hand when your own wave threatens.
