For YumnaKay - Thank you

There are those who have the blood of altruism rushing through them...

A pat on the back

just as your energy is flagging

in a race which you are both running

Or a whisper in your ear, which makes you

lift your face to the wind 

When a task ahead is dreaded

A smile from across the room

which lifts weights from you

When your head is lowering

A hand touching your arm

when you felt as if you might float

in the void on a zephyr of sadness

Or a joke without malice

which says much more than the 

sum of it's words

Sometimes the smallest gesture

Can mean the world...

A very nice, well-worded tribute. It leaves a soft and sweet feeling in the reader. "on a zephyr of sadness", that's an epic line.

I'm glad you find such goods words for her. This is def a good support, encouragement and strength provider.

You two are somehow cute in your ways of friendship. :)

Boy, truer words were never spoken. We never know the pain the person next to us might be suffering. Nice write. Valentine

[Tony Jordan]

People are great at hiding their sorrows as you well know Kathie so it's sometimes hard to know how to approach them if we feel they are flagging.
Takes a special person to be diplomatically caring.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts my friend.
Did the editing go as planned - did you get to keep the reviews?

We are all running this race DIVYA and I know you too would be the kind of friend to encourage others to keep on running.
You are appreciated DIVYA.

I think you've taken it as your responsibility to overwhelm me with emotions.

What can I say, except that I'll always have your back.

And it's really you who is the good one here, taking my ridiculous comments as jokes.

On a lighter note, are you sure, you aren't writing a book on me? 😂😂😂

I'm flattered "af" 😂 and of course grateful that I could have such a friend like you.

Chin up, my boy 💜

[Tony Jordan]

Writing a book - yes - I work for the CIA we have a big book on you already lol
Aww - you're emotional - I didnt mean for that to happen but glad it did.
You're a good egg Yumna.
Thank you.

[Dr. YumnaKay]
