AWARDS!
PORTRAIT OF A FRIEND
I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.
I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,and help you when you ask.
I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,room to be yourself.
I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place.
I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

Happy Birthday, Ruth! I'll be thinking of you today especially.
I was in Singapore from 1964-1966 - did we overlap at all?
Happy Birthday too from me. Thinking of you. xxx
I too see a young lady!!!

My Dear Ruth, many birthday wishes coming your way today. Such cute photos and I see the young woman too :o) Love you lots {{{BIG BIRTHDAY HUGS}}} xxxx
I would like to wish a positive birthday my friend. 'Happy', in all the circumstances surrounding you doesn't do it. And if if "H.B." is just a cliché, then it has little value for you. But have a positive birthday, celebrate life, spoil yourself a little, or a lot, because you are a "Special One" who deserves every possible ounce of good that's going. As I believe it's true that we get what we give, then you are going to get rich rewards for all that you've given. It may not compensate, but then these things are not measurable. I hope the sun is shining down on East Anglia today for you and the day brings you all the sweetness it can.
Oh, BTW, it will be late, but what for your letterbox tomorrow or Thursday.
With all my love,
StewartXXXXXXX
PS - No, don't 'what', but WATCH!

I am late with my birthday wishes Ruth, but here they are just the same!
I love the photos of you and I see a young girl in the last pic
Lots of love
Julie xx
Best Wishes for your special day Ruth. I hope the sun is shining, thinking of you with love...xxx
May I wish you Happy Birthday too? Lovely pictures. I see a young woman.
Happy, happy birthday, dear Ruth! And thank you for taking time out in all of this to come to my blog and pledge for my triathlon! Wonderful photos of you and your family!!
Happy birthday, Ruth. Since I mostly read your main blog, I have spent this morning catching up with this blog since I last read it on the the 23 March. I did not know, therefore, about you losing your darling Mick. You have my deepest sympathy.
Happy Birthday to you. I have to tell you how much I admire you and how much you inspire me. When I get down in the "dumps" I think of you and a smile soon comes to my face. {{{{Hugs}}}} to you.
Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
I saw a fat monkey and i thought it was YOU!
Oh and i have decided that you need to start attaching the label the Real Ruth onto posts like this! I cant wait to hear more about Singapore.
I saw a young woman.
HUGS AND HUGS!
Oh and Happy Birthday off of Sgt Dub.
Happy Birthday Ruth from Us Danes x x
Happy Birthday Ruth. I have been thinking of you today. The photo of the little girl is so cute and she has grown into an amazing and strong woman.
Stay well

Ruth, love the pictures. And the poem - my mother used to say the exact same poem to me when I was little because I am a curlyhead too. "When she was bad she was horrid!" So true of me! ;-)
Would love to learn more about your past in Singapore.
Forgot to add, I saw the young lady. Had to squint a bit and then.... poof! I could see the old lady.
I always see the young woman first, even though I know the old hag is there.
My birthday fell not long after Daddy's death, so I know Happy is not the right word for this birthday. But it is another milestone in your life, filled with much promise for the coming year.
Thinking of you each day, whether I blog or not.
