A public apology for a private person

Friday, on the last day of school, I hurt someones feelings by being quick.

This person can make me smile when I am sad.

This person is always there for me at birthdays, holidays and fun Saturday visits just stopping by with a strawberry lemonade, and is very generous with their time and money and food treats.

This person is my best girlfriend! :)

I missed this because of my rudeness.......I am sorry.

" The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache. "

" I don't want to drive up the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived"
