Honoring A Dear Friend
(on her birthday...)
~ A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be. ~
Douglas Pagels
Val is just simply the best and the older I get the more I admire her wit and wisdom and am so thankful to God that she has been and continues to be a very special part of my life.
She's like a mother, older sister and best friend all rolled into one!
We met nearly 20 years ago, maybe 20 years now actually. Let me see, it was 1989, 18 years then. I didn't realize it had been so long!
Val is older than me by like 20 years, but we have maintianed a wonderful friendship for almost that long.
We don't live far from each other and we actually don't see each other all that much, but we do stay in touch and try to make it a point to get together and do things once in a while which is what I really look forward too, her visits, outings together to shop and have lunch and just talking on the phone.
Val has a witty sense of humor, one you can only appreciate once you have gotten to know her, she's bright, intellectual, well read in politics and God's word. She knows how to give and receive unselfishly and she's always there to lend an ear or a shoulder.
I just enjoy her as a friend, confidant, and one who believes in me as a person and sees me for who I really am, one that loves my children as her own and appreciates my family and God loving ways.
Thanks Val for being such a wonderful part of my life!
