| Message | If God were to come down and lay before me the path of my life,
Showing me the twists and the turns... all the lessons I'd learn... the people that would judge me, dismiss me...and spurn...
I would run far away. Hide my face for a year, for a day
I find myself alone awaiting the time that fear finally gave in and heaven gave to me an angel, a friend...
And I would call her Jo.
With her I would know myself... true, unafraid and welcome.
There are rarely times when people can stop in the middle of their busy lives, in the midst of a busy street... and appreciate the curve of a cloud, the smile of a child or the hand of a friend...
I thank you for lending me that grace.
You're my mother, my friend, my guide...
And I'll forever be proud at your side.
I love you.
