Editors needed

I now understand why it is so hard to get published you need to have all the correct facts. Spelling and grammar are very important, and a good editor is huge.
I believe this is as close as I will ever get to being a published writer and I'm OK with that.
So I need to edit myself......On my previous post I told you about a poem that was sent to me. Now I assumed ( we all know what happens when you assume?, ass, u, me?) it was from Megan who works for us. I even text her the day I got it & said omg, i am crying its the nicest thing anyone could have ever written about me. & was a bit curious when she never responded.
Now I did question whether it was from her or a very old dear friend, Meg D. whom i knew from the 6th grade was one of my closest and dearest friends, same time I was friends with Debi. We were the 4 musketeers basically, Me, Jessica, Meg & Debi.
But i lost touch with Meg about a year after I got married she was in my first wedding ( sorry for the dresses)
But as we know people drift apart.
When I read it though it did seem like something her very creative brain could have written, But no return address or last name. Similar handwriting as to what I remember from 25 years ago too.
I was on my way home just now and Megs from the store text me & said while she was very touched by what i wrote about her she could not take credit for something she did not write. ( Always the Honorable one). I still meant everything I said about my Megs too.
And that's when It hit me OMG! It was my old Meg??? So Meg DV. I am so sorry i gave credit to the wrong person. I am even more touched by you having written that, because it has been so long since we've been in touch. Thank You so much. I really do love it and still cry when I read it.
Miss You my friend.
xoxo

That's actually kinda cool. Two great friends (one 'old', one new) doing good things to help you along in their own unique way and you wrote what you thought about both of them.

I wouldn't edit a thing . . .

(and hi to Megan D!!).
