Hi Phil,

This is Mari. A friend is one who will gently reprove me, pray with 
me, love me through the bad times, laugh with me through the good, 
laugh with me when I fall on my tush in the snow, go to thrift stores 
with me, who will tell me I have a stain on my shirt, will hold my 
hand when I cry, who will call or visit me in the hospital, who will 
share a meal, who will read me Scriptures when I'm down, who will not 
put their best foot forward to impress me, who can make me bibs cuz I 
eat like a slob, who will drive me to church when it's below zero, 
who will spend hours on the phone with me, who is always there to 
pick up the pieces, who takes a genuine interest in my life, who sees 
me as a person who is blind and not a blind person, who shares their 
life with me, who will show their tears to me. In short, a 
soft-hearted, gentle Christian who accepts me for who I am.


LOVE AND BLESSINGS,
Mari
