Friends are among the most precious things we have, and I have let mine pass by much too often. My new year's day resolution is to treat my friends, near and far, better.
An example: this year I sent NO Christmas cards. To anyone. In spite of that, I got three lovely ones from friends of mine, including a long and sweet letter about my recent loss, which managed to say all the right things and hit every nail on the head. You people know who you are, and you are wonderful. Thank you for existing.

Thank you so much for your wishes! But I'm sorry my clumsiness made you wish me on the wrong day.
You see, I mainly created an LJ account to be able to read your posts, since you lock some of your more insightful posts to "friends only." I'm afraid, as a result, I never really filled in the profile properly. I think I only entered the year I was born in, so as to satisfy the minimum age requirements. I have updated my DOB now.
Yours in Christ,
SouthIndian
P.S. Incidentally, I read about these two people recently:

Are they perhaps distantly related to you? They seem to share your family name.
