August 28, 1996Today would have been your 53rd birthday...what fun we would have had celebrating, laughing, and eating cake! Although it has been almost 12 years, I still miss you every day and can't believe how often I find myself wishing I could pick up the phone and call you. I guess that 20 years of sharing everything , good and bad, with my best friend is not an easy habit to break.
You had the incredible gift of always knowing the right thing to say and encouraging me when nobody else would...homeschooling comes to mind. I really miss reminiscing about all the great (and often stupid!) things we did together. Remember our motorcycle days? We sure got a lot of looks driving down the road!! Now it is more common for girls to drive bikes, but back then it was pretty rare. How about all the time we spent "not" going to school and going to the river instead? Or the time we thought we were so cool cruising around in the boss's Vette, although we were both hugely pregnant? Remember the sprinklers that soaked us the night we were spying on Russ's bachelor party? Or all the 'girls days'... leaving the husbands and kids at home and shopping til we dropped? I could go on and on and on. There are so many great memories that nobody else can relate to... oh sure, I can tell people about all the fun we had, but it isn't the same as reliving them with the only other person that actually remembers too.
Thank you for the gift of your amazing friendship; it is a blessing for which I will always be grateful. Happy birthday my friend... you are truly loved and missed.
