"Your Special Day"
This group was formed to showcase the person that exemplifies what a true special friend is. A friend that puts you and everyone else before him or herself. A friend is: person who knows and likes another. Comrade, patron, crony, companion, supporter, and advocate. Special: a particular kind, distinct from others, different from what is ordinary, exceptional , a great or special friend. We are here to celebrate the uniqueness of a person that puts his/her friends and even strangers before oneself. This group is here for you to nominate who you feel has and demonstrates all the attributes that is and makes a person stand above all others. This person finds peace in any storm, finds love when there is discontent, and has a heart that shows not only love but has complete empathy for all fellow humans. THERE WILL BE ONLY TWO FORUMS: 1. The "Special Day Recepient's" (only) 2. Questions? If you would like to nominate someone for the next "Special Friend Day" please send a message to anyone of the members of this group or to all if you like. This way whoever receieved the "Special Day" won't know about it, until the day he/she is awarded. You can contact anyone of the members if you want to find out anything or have questions. That or use Forum 2 for quesitons. Thank you, we look forwards to questions and your nominee's. If you are a member of this group you are also a "Moderators." This group works as one, one for all. It you do happen to get a nominee please to let the rest of us know....RaeDi "THOSE YOU HONORED AS SPECIAL PERSON" ~ Michael Rogers ~ May, 2008 ~ ~ ....RaeDi ~ June, 2008 ~ ~ Kinge/Ed ~ July, 2008 ~ ~ Jen43/Peg ~ August, 2008 ~ ~ Tinky ~ September, 2008~

My friend next door showed me how to put information into my dad’s journals and then send them to all the groups.

I heard someone telling this joke and it reminded me of my dad.

Three men are talking.

The first man says when I die I want someone to say what a good man I was and how I helped others.

The second man said I want someone to say that I was a good man, husband, and father and have the whole chapel filled with friends.

The third man thought for a second and then said I want someone to say at my funeral for everyone to hear “IS HE MOVING”

I only have a little time to spend on the internet so I will put it to you dads friends do you want me to post his stories or do you want me to tell you the things I remember about my dad?

I'm confused Jonell...Is your dad doing okay? It sounds like he didn't survive...please tell me that I misread what that story you posted meant...Now, I am concerned...Or does anyone here know how dw6831 is?

It would be great to have both. If there has to be a choice, Then let it be what you remember about your DAD. What better way to know your Dad, but through you.
