QUITE THE SURPRISE!

What started out as the promise of a quiet

 lunch with a friend yesterday,

ended up being

QUITE THE SURPRISE LUNCHEON!!!

My oh my,

was I ever touched by this gathering of

SPECIAL LADIES!

 Friends, I will remember you,

think of you, pray for you.

And when another day is through,

I'll still be friends with you!

Friends, I will remember you,

think of you, pray for you.

And when another day is through,

I'll still be friends with you!

What a special group of ladies 

we have here in Dubai.

Living far from family and friends,

we have all become each other's support system.

And oh what fun we've had 
along the way!

Thanks, Nancie, for organizing such a wonderful surprise!

THANKS EVERYONE....I WILL NEVER FORGET IT!

Friends, I will remember you.
Think of you, pray for you.
And when another day is through,
I'll still be friends with you!

(And, last but not least, thanks John Denver -- I couldn't have said it better myself!)
