First, your notes -- I love the idea of the question marks -- some special people like to keep things like their age a mystery. You have treated this with humor and grace, and there's no better recipient than lovely Jan.
I don't know the date either, but thanks to the heads-up, I can now wish her a great day. :)

Dawn, I thank you so very much for your lovely review and comments about Jan's poem and also for her. You are always so sweet. When I finish your review I will be posting a poem that I wrote for your contest. I am excited to read others because when it comes to talking about God, we all are winners in His Love. Thank you for doing this. And in honor of Thanksgiving, as I meant to thank you yesterday as it was so hectic, but I am thankful for our growing friendship. I hope you had a very blessed day. Debi

I did have a blessed day, but my Thanksgiving is in October...*smile* I am Canadian.
You're very welcome.
-
And LOL, I am your neighbor to the south. MN here. I knew you were from there, but wondered where in Canada?
-
Toronto, Ontario.

Here I was thinking that you were going to be way north of us, but Toronto is mixed in with the states and our beautiful lakes. I bet your area is gorgeous!
Comment from Aussie
Happy Birthday Jan! Loved your poem for one special lady who works tirelessly helping others on fanstory.
She has borne more than her share of sorrows but did not give in - instead she threw her energy into writing and helping. I believe a death can start a life not lived. A chapter not yet read. I think brother Tim encourages her in her quest for good. K xx

Thank you so very much Kay for such lovely comments for my poem and for Jan and for the awesome and generous gift of six stars in her honor. You are so very sweet and I meant to tell you this yesterday, but kinda overdid in therapy. I went to bed at 5 yesterday afternoon and just got up a little it ago. But just wanted you to know how thankful that I am for your friendship. I feel like I have known you for forever. God Bless you my friend.

Hi Debi, Yes, I think we have known each other some time. We are both disabled but a smile is worth a thousand words. Love, Kay.

The only time no pain and I feel normal is in the heated swimming pool - do you go?

Comment from Lilly Flowers
Haha - your notes cracked me up. I guess you have to make sure no one makes assumptions. This was a fun-to-read poem about one of the Fan Story members. I'm sure she appreciates it. Hugs, Lilly

Comment from Tom Horonzy
The likelihood is many feel as you do but the title led me to believe it was a child of yours, and more than likely its Janpan ... right? You are kind to write such words. I would have saved the member cents though and sent it to her in a message. But that's me. My mom told me I am of English blood but as tight as I am I bet she meant Scottish instead.

AH HA MY FRIEND. DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT WHAT EVER GETS THE REVIEWS, COUNT ON OUR RATING AND RANKING. SO IT REALLY MATTERS NOT TO ME HOW I GET IT, BECAUSE IT WAS A DOUBLE BLESSING THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. I GET THE FUN AND THE CREDIT, AND A FRIEND FEELS THE BLESSING. THERE IS NO GREATER FEELING THAN THAT OF DOING SOMETHING NICE FOR ANOTHER.
KINDA SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE FIRST COMMANDMENT. ANYWAY, I DIDN'T MEAN IT TO SOUND LIKE A LECTURE, BUT INSTEAD WANT TO WISH YOU AND YOURS A VERY HAPPY THANKS GIVING!!
AND LIKE RED USED TO SAY, AND GOD BLESS!!!

You're nice, and back to you regarding the holiday.

Thanks so much Santha. You are so incredibly sweet and I know Jan will appreciate your lovely comments as much as I do. Thanks again my dear friend! And also, I know that many from other countries or even some here in the states, don't celebrate Thanksgiving. So let me just tell you that I am so very thankful for our friendship. It truly means so much to me.
God Bless you and may He keep you and yours safe through the holiday season.

A nice poem full of birthday wishes for your friend Jan. You may like to add a note to clarify as I believe we have more than one Jan amongst the membership.
Nice touch of humour with the question marks and a pleasing rhythm make this a pleasure to read.

Thanks so much Steve,. You are so incredibly kind and I know Jan will appreciate your lovely comments as much as I do. I like your suggestion about add a note saying which Jan I am referring to.
Thanks again my dear friend!
Comment from Kaiku
Always nice to raise a fellow colleague up and show one's friendship. The exchange of words without sight or sound often offers up its very own orchestra of brilliance. Nice poem for Jan.
