READ PROFILE 1ST PLEASE Italiana BiBrat's blog: "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN"

One day a mother died. And on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of her bedroom, the Son was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. No more hugs, no more lucky moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, No more 'just one minute.' Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away. never to return before we can say good-bye, Say 'I Love You.' So while we have it . . it's best we love it . . And care for it and fix it when it's broken and take good care of it when it's sick. This is true for marriage .... and friendships .. And children with bad report cards; And dogs with bad hips; And aging parents and grandparents We keep them because they are worth it, Because we cherish them! Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, No matter what. Life is important, and so are the people we know. And so, we keep them close! I received this from someone today who thought I was a 'KEEPER'! Then I sent It to the people I Think of in the same way! Thank you very much For being a special part of MY Life!

If you ever think you're getting tired of our relationship, would you tell me? Or if I do anything that upsets you, will you share it instead of keeping it locked up inside? I want you to come to me with your thoughts, whether you I want to hear them or not. I need to know what's going on with your emotions whether happy or sad. And if you'll let me...I'll do the same for you...because I know that communicating our fears right along with our fantasies, and our difficulties right along with our dreams, is one of the most important things we can do. The more we talk about things, the better we will know that instead of ever drifting apart, we can make this relationship good and strong and give it the love and care to grow.

In everyone's life there problems to solve. Even in the strongest relationship, there are differences to overcome. It is easy to give up when confronted with difficulties; to fool yourself into believing that perfection can be found somewhere else. But true happiness and a lasting relationship are found when u look inside yourself for the solutions to the problems. Instead of walking away when things get tough and blaming the other person look for compromise and forgiveness. Caring is not a matter of convenience. It is a commitment of one soul to another. And if each gives generously of themselves, then both lives are enriched. The problems will come and go, just like the changing seasons. But unselfish love is constant and everlasting.

Sometimes you are so distant with me that I can't help but wonder if I am still someone special to you. Sometimes you act as though I am intruding on your world when all I really want to have you share a part of mine. Sometimes I feel as though I have asked too many questions when all I really wanted was to understand you better!

Lately, it seems we've been drifting away from each other....not terribly far, but enough to be concerned. I know things aren't what they once were, but that doesn't mean they can't be again. Every relationship passes this point at one time or another, but the important thing to remember is that we can get through it. It might not be easy worthwhile things usually never are...but if we really care about one another, and where we're headed together, maybe we can begin to rediscover the things that brought us together in the beginning. I care for you and I know you care for me. Let's not stop here, let's not give up without a fight....we're worth to much together.

Sometimes it's not enough just to have you in my life; there are times when I need more of you than you give, more attention, more understanding, maybe even a little more of your time. Please understand. I don't want to crowd you or ask to much. I guess that I just want you to open up a little bit more....share more of your thoughts with me, your feelings and fears.

Sometimes in order to have a successful relationship you need to put out of your any lessons learned from previous relationships because if you carry a sensitivity or fear with you, you wont be acting freely and you won't let yourself be really known. Sometimes to have a successful relationship it is essential that both people be completely open and honest.

It hasn't been easy for us lately; it seems that there's always something holding us apart. It's not a question of who is to blame, because we're both being ourselves, and there's no fault in that. I'm sure what it is, but I think that beneath it all, we have something worthwhile. If we can sort through all the confusion, we can find the happiness we both want. It isn't easy to do, but I think we are worth it. I know you are!

I MISS YOU Not only for your smile, But for the piece of me that's gone, Left within your care. I'm in an empty halfway And have been for awhile, Gazing inwardly towards home, Neither here nor there. How quickly we've turned distant! The months pass by like years. How could friends so inseparable So soon seem so apart! How imprecise the instant Held hostage by my tears! Though Time may seem insatiable, I have you in my heart.

Now I'm out walking the world desert, and my shoe and my stocking do me no hurt. I leave behind Good friends in town. Let them get well-winded and go lie down. Don't think I leave the outer dark like Adam and Eve put out the park. Forget the myth. There is no one I am put out with or put out by. Unless I'm wrong I but obey the urge of a song "I'm-Bound-Away!" And I may return if dissatisfied with what i learn from having died. Eric was my best friend some one I could always share my feelings, my pain and heartaches along with lots of laughs and crazyness with but now he is gone to be in a better place for I miss him very much but always and forever will he have a place in my heart I love you and miss you very much Eric..
