Hello my friends, Our friend Pat passed this around,kathy/simikathy.com From Pat Ritrosky: Just pass it on Date:8/29/2006 The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Pass this message to 7 people except you and me. You will receive a miracle tomorrow If you choose not, then you refuse to bless someone else. "Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there."
