This Is For My Friend Kelly

This post is all about my friend Kelly. Kelly is the kindest, most loving person I have ever known. Like me, she has issues...but like me she is working on them and is gaining ground each day. Kelly is honest, pure and has NEVER wanted anything from me but my friendship. She has never ONCE asked me for a thing...not one favor, not one thing. Even if I offered, she is the type who would say "No, I'm okay...but what do you need?" She is selfless, giving, funny and I am blessed to know her. She may be surprised to know this, but there was a time I was going to quit doing my radio show. I was tired. I was being criticized left and right and it was a lot of work ( and still is!) But then I got a surprise call from Kelly, like God told her "Hey, call Jackie...she needs you." You told me that my show was a blessing, that you loved it and that I was a great host. You told me to keep on going no matter what anyone says. Now almost a year later I have gone from a few thousand listeners to millions all over the world. I receive more love mail than hate mail. And it is all because of you. You are amazing, a brilliant gift put here by God. You are not an accident and you are MORE than your flaws. I have so many flaws I lost count; but you never seem to care do you? You just like me. And Kelly...I like you too. May God bless you, heal you and give you the strength not just to make it through life but to ENJOY it.

I laugh a lot on the radio and with my friend, but with you I can cry. With you I can be me. With you I am safe and all is OK. How many people can say they have a friend like that? Not many. Thank you... Jackie
