I love Lissie because she is a sistah to not just me, but a lot of people on this board.

I love that she gives great advice (even if we aren't ready to take it) and is quick to use the 2x4 to give it if we need it.

I love that she always makes herself available for everyone that needs her, but always keeps her family #1.

I love that I can call her up to grab a drink so we can just laugh and eat and cry about everything in our lives (and the fact that there's more laughing than anything else).

She is a terrific friend.


"I made the wall of shadow draw back,
beyond desire and act, I walked on.

Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost,
I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you."
