for my friend Svenn

Svenn had upsetting news from the doc.......is very down in spirit.......and I need added help from my family here in letting him know how much he is needed here..........thought I'd share how I tried lifting his spirit. My hope is that others here are perhaps also helped in their time of need by knowing you too have someone here who cares....
...."Hi Svenn,
Gee, I don't know if you'll understand all I will say here, but I surely do hope so.
First of all, I'm sorry that we can't continue our talk at msn.
THEN, I started to call you, but couldn't. I didn't think "my" voice right now would do you any good.
I'm so worried and concerned for you that I'm afraid my voice would only bring you down more.
SOOOOOOoooooooo.........I've decided to do what is the next best thing....write you my feelings on the subject in this email. Here goes:
heisan Lille venn
When I first came to ch.com, I met 3 very special gentlemen. The first was Charlie, and we both know how much of a nut he can be. BUT...all the same, a very special friend to me. Then after Charlie, was Svenn and another guy named Tony.
Well, I chatted with these fellows for quite a few nights during the ending of that cycle of my ch. I cried to myself MANY evenings. I guess because I was so happy to know that I could share my feelings with someone else who WOULD understand how I felt. And, EVERY time I came to this helpless computer, ONE of those three "buddies" I had made was there. No matter what time of night, I could rely on one of them being there WITH me.....not "for" me, but WITH me!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a feeling that you can't put a touch on, but it sure as hell felt wonderful! (and addictive I might add)
Then, after about a 2 week period.....ONE of these FINE gentlemen I was quickly growing to befriend........was absent for a prolonged period. I cried again. I mean really, I was TOTALLY new to this internet junk.....the same junk I had forbidden my kids to do......"TALK" with ppl I didn't know...........TALK with strange, weird, psychos on the internet!! JESUS what is this world coming to!
Then, after a few MONTHS...........my friend (whom I thought because of his name to be really tall, blonde and handsome with blue eyes...lol) appeared to me again. I jokingly told him..."Man, I thought you had died!!".......then he told me.........he had been away at the hospital........OH MY........I didn't know what to do. I had cried the very thing to my husband and my daughter (whom I share so much with about ch.com)......what if something had happened to my new friend......he was across the world from me, I may never hear from him again.
I felt stupified. WHAT "if" something like that were to happen?? OH MY.
Well, from there our friendship grew..........and grew........and grew!!! SVENN, you are wonderful. From the birthday phone call you made to "your" Kali Ann.......to the "gifts" you sent......to receiving a surprise card in the mail from you............and your phone call....I could go on, but there's no need. You know what you mean to me friend.
Somewhere during our friendship developing, my "other" friend kinda became strange to some ppl on the board. Ole Tony, had a few problems with some people, BUT was never rude, or hurtful to me. Always the friend. Well, the dreaded happened, he died!!
TOO FINAL.......TOO SAD......TOO LONESOME FOR US LEFT BEHIND
I still had my two bestest of friends at ch.com. And to this day I still do.
Now, one of those friends needs me. He needs me to lift his spirits, because he is having such a rough time right now. Svenn, I know it's rough not being able to use the imitrex, and even rougher thinking of needing a heart surgery. BUT KNOW.......YOU HAVE US ALL!!!! "even".....your Kali Ann
She along with me, and MANY others would be devasted if something happened to you. As I've told you...........I would cease to exist in DJ's great family kingdom.........remember pal........we're cluster buddies as we promised each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING will change that.
You hang in WITH me my friend. Know that you are loved, that I admire you, that I TOTALLY always understand your English.....(lol....well, almost always).....and that you are NON REPLACEABLE here. Not even Charlie can take your place with me....(hehehehehe....sorry charlie ole pal, it's close though....LMAO)
Svenn.........you're strong, you can fight alongside us.............and YOU ARE A WINNER!!!!!
Love to you,
EDNA
and I already know that Kali sends her hugs along as well".................

Svenn don't be a stranger. It would break a wonderful ladies heart, and I'm not done stealing stuff off your hard drive.

Wow Edna. Can't beat that. What a post.
I agree that if Svenn has surgery, I want him back with the same fiestiness. We need him to give us a hard time. 
I'm on your side Svenn.
