Happy First Birthday
Garden of Friendship
|
The
Garden of Friendship celebrated it's first birthday with a week of fun
filled events, we even had a party and exchanged gifts.

During the festivities,
we had an Essay Contest. Here is my entry:
The fact that the Garden is celebrating
it's First Birthday and has such a wonderful group of members is a dream
come true for me. A year ago, I would have never imagined the Garden would
grow and develop as it has. This past year I have had so many happy
times here, and have also dealt with many hardships, both personally and
with the Garden. The most trying of all was the car accident I was in last
January, and the constant pain I have had to deal with since then. There
have been so many times I've wanted to give up, but rest assured, every
time I sat down at my computer, there would be letters and cards of friendship
and encouragement
waiting for me.
There have been so many true friendships
formed here in the Garden. I have met so many wonderful people from areas
all around the globe and from all walks of life. I have cried both tears
of pain and joy with the many
friends I have made here and shared so much.
I can honestly say my closest friends are right here in the Garden.
I sincerely thank all of you for the contributions
and dedication you have given the Garden. Without you, the Garden would
have withered long ago. In a Garden, Friendship should always be Blooming...
THAT is what it's all about!!!
