Dear Frances, I wanted to write you this letter to put down in words what our friendship means to me.I have never meant anyone quite like you.Smart yet naive,Strong yet gentle,Quiet yet opinionated.Every other Tuesday you make me feel welcome when i walk through your door.From that first smile and hug to our tea parties.Conversations that last for hours.Lets not forget those scrumptious cakes and cookies,oh yes,the best vanilla frosting in the world.Dont think I don't know you make them especially for when we get together.When I lost my Mom,you became a second Mother to me.So thank you FRANNIE and when next Tuesday comes ,I will see you open your door ,smile and say ,Hi Sal,if only in my thoughts.
