Another example of what brings such depth to all of your connections with others. That undercurrent of faith, and the simple need to be of service to others in anyway that is possible. And is of course, part of the reason so many elevate to you.

My grandfather always told me, "Tam, there are many friends in this world to be made, but God truly blesses you if you should find ONE true friend that will walk beside you for the entire journey."

And in essence that is so very true. Even when I didn't understand it early in life, it became a cornerstone of truth for me throughout the years. You are one of those corner stones as well, because the gift of your friendship is a wonderful treasure to guard.

You express such deep, profound truths. No friendship should be about what is expected in return, but the fact remains that you will be blessed beyond measure when you give selflessly to those around you, while expecting nothing in return. Another Grandpa wisdom that he bestowed. *smiles*

To add further to this thought, the importance of our traditional names (Mohawk names), used to make me wonder if we truly do live up to the names bestowed upon us at birth. For example; My older son was called Ai:ai'noni (Ah-ya-noon-nee) which means "He who makes the path" or "pathmaker" in short. In the course of his young life, despite all the hardships, he's living up to that very name. His rebellious side, has created new paths for parenting in me...finding ways to deal with him and his needs has broadened my scope of thinking. Taking new paths with him in order to discover better ways of dealing with age old issues.

Again the name Ka'nah:ne (Gah-Nah-nee)means "she who watches over" (in the context of from above spiritually) or in laymen terms "a guardian angel". It's the essence of the meaning of this name that was placed upon my soul at birth. An old name that I have managed to live up to as well. More times than I probably remember too. But the point here is, if I could find a word in Mohawk to describe you, I would say that you also hold the meaning of that name very deeply within you as well. Now if I could only find the masculine form of that, I'd write it here. Living up the Mohawk grammatical rules I'd bet it's Ra'nah:ne (Rah-Nah-Nee) or he who watches over, as in a male guardian angel. And that would be you!

Ka'nah:rhon'kwa Ra'nah:ne!
(Gah-nah-roon-kwah)
(Love ya, guardian angel)

I:i (me)

Muah..keep on doing what you do best!

Ka'nah:rhon'kwa,

Ah, and now I am really happy. To see your
name here in this thread was just wonderful.
You Tammy have one of those very, very, very,
special hearts. When someone spends time
talking to you for more than a passing moment
they begin to realize that you are an intelligent,
loving, caring, deep, and beautiful person.

On top of that you have a great sense of humor
and are so much fun to spend time with. You and
I will continue to grow closer because we have
that soul connection.

You bless me every time I come into contact with
you. I love your honesty, your sincerity, your
deep commitment to your family and friends, and
your words of wisdom that so often leave smiling
after the reading's done.

I'd hug your for an hour if you were here.

I miss you and you are in my thoughts every day.

Talk real soon tamerinsk eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thanks for YOU!

andy

You always touch my heart in so many ways! I miss you too! I'm trying to come around more and more, while I try desperately to hang onto my emotional equilibrium.

It's just nice to be here...and my words are inadequate to express anything I might be feeling at this moment...just know that I think of you each day and miss everyone too.

We will catch up as soon as MSN let's me get on. With the new storm that came in..even my internet connection is having trouble..and I keep being bumped off. So...I will catch up to you later on.

Ka'nah:rhon'kwa Ra'nah:ne

((Hugs))
