Melody - my dear friend and lover of animals. Melody and I first met at an MSN Group called Kat Korner. We started talking to each other because we were about the same age and have been friends ever since. Melody is a real life Pet Detective and she has saved so many animals. She lives in Washington with her hubby Gary and her kitties who are so dear to her.  This Melody got me from Mystic, it means the world to me because she said:

A tag is just a tag, unless it's given in friendship

No birth certificate is issued when friendship is born. There is nothing tangible. There is just a feeling that your life is different and that your capacity to love and care has miraculously been enlarged with out any effort on your part. It's like having a tiny apartment and somebody moves in with you. But instead of becoming cramped and crowded, the space expands, and you discover rooms you never knew you had until your friends moved in with you.

My friends, if I could give you one thing, I would wish for you the ability to see yourself as others see you. Then you would realize what truly special persons you are.
Hugs,
Melody

Melody is one of the warmest, most loving women I have ever met and always says "love you" before she hangs up the phone!  Love you too Melody!

One of the first tags Melody ever made me and one of the first she ever animated (before we got into pixels)
