A complete loser . . .a public apology

Andrea. I miss you and i don't show it. . . fwiw, belated happy birthday. . . forgive my constant failure to consistently connect. You are too special for words. but brave, gracious, inspiring and beautiful come to mind. love you, dear friend. keep on rocking. x

(thanks to Pip Wilson for using the line ::touching fingertips:: in a very recent email and thus unintentionally and inadvertantly kicking me up the arse where this thoroughly neglected and sadly long distance friendship is concerned)
