Now I owe all of the truly wonderful people in my life an online tribute. Jessica was chosen at random — well, sort of, as it was her birthday. But I fear that by not mentioning everyone that is blog-worthy, I have inadvertently ignored soneone who is important.
Who have been my best friends over the years? Let's see if I can name them all.
(And a preemptive apology to those who will be overlooked — I do my best, but I am bound to forget someone.)
Debra C. Jane S. Lorinda G. Janet A. Jill B. Amy P. Christine M. Cindy R. Shawna A. Gina P. Tammy J. Jessica M. Dawn H. Jane H. Vicky H. Christy G. Susie G. Camilla P. Rachel P. Karla H. Jami S. Don W. Pat R. Eric W. Lois H. Maria M. Candy T. Shelly P. Peter G. Amy S. Denise K. Ann O. Carol L. Beth G. Marc E. Helen S. Terri J. Cheryl K. Susanne W. Heike B. Birgit K. Claudia Y. Megs P. JoAnn D. Gale K. Edie P. Gail W.
Each one of those names represents someone who was, or is, very special in my life. The list, chronological, reflects people that I know had that sort of "kindred spirit" feeling. I didn't list my brothers, but I could, because I consider them friends as well. Nor did I list anyone from Houston yet. But I'm sure I will; I am working on cultivating those relationships. It just takes time.
I'm still in touch with 23 of those names. Mostly from the latter part, but not necessarily; some go back to grade school.
A life of good friends; now that's an accomplishment. Something to be proud of.
