THANKS TO YOU LYRICS
Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreamin' of
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to You
For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you
No mountain, no valleyNo time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to You
Oh... There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to You
Thanks to You
For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Showing me how to give
And how to take
No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdownForgive me but it's true
That I am aching with the love I feel inside
Thanks to You
Thanks to you

FriendshipA short story by Sally Berneathy
Paula and I met in the first grade. Since her last name was Brent and mine was Berneathy,
she sat behind me. We were both shy and had nothing to say to each other until the day she asked
to borrow my ruler.
We lived in a small town in southern Oklahoma where money was scarce, and my six-inch
red plastic ruler was a valued possession. Reluctantly, I loaned it to Paula--and she kept it for too
long, or so it seemed to me. I turned around to take it back, but Paula wasn't through with it. I
grabbed, she held on...the ruler broke.I cried. She cried. I blamed her, and she blamed me.
And, in the manner of six-year olds, from that day forward, we were inseparable, the best
of friends.
As the years passed, we spent many nights at each other's houses, whispering the night
away about our plans for the future. We were going to move to a big city and be room-mates in a
gorgeous apartment. I would be a writer, and she would be an artist. She would illustrate my
books, and we would both be rich and famous. When we were older, probably around twenty-five,
we would marry and live next door to each other and be auntto each other's children.
When we were ten years old, we saw an episode of "Lassie" in which Timmy and his
friend pricked their fingers and became blood brothers. Paula came home with me the next
evening. We dug a hole in the hard earth out behind my family's weathered old barn, took a thorn
from the locust tree and pricked our thumbs, joining our blood. We buried the thorn, each adding
an item we prized, as the friends on "Lassie" had done. Paula contributed her dime-store set of
water colors, and I added a paper back book. Our most valuable possessions--but not as valuable
as our friendship.

She told me that she'd called my mother twice and been given wrong phone numbers both
times. She'd almost given up, but decided to try one more time...and caught my mother in a rare
moment of lucidity.Now Paula's back in Oklahoma, and I live in Missouri. We see each other every summer
and call each other regularly.
During the years we'd lost touch, she had another, unexpected, child...a girl, named after
me.
A girl who calls me "Aunt."
