My little red tether is my anchor in running with my friends. A beautiful guide dog has been my tether/anchor in mobility and independence for 17 years: 1. Pantera 2. Cricket, and now my beautiful 3. Georgina (Georgie). A life of family and friends is my joy and anchor in life.

The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. CC Scott

Commitment to Friendship

Lunch with a friend yesterday was sweet.  My friend Gerrie will be leaving on an LDS Mission with her husband in a month. We knew that our lunch yesterday probably would be our last lunch together prior to her departure.  She has been a dear friend for years and I love her!  She is such a kind, caring person.

Each time we have lunch I reflect on something she said nine years ago when we moved from being in the same neighborhood.  She said - I love you and we are not going to lose touch! Let's make sure we get together once a month for lunch.  

We all know how easy it is for time to fly and lose touch or say ... we've got to get together as time passes.  As a result of her commitment to our friendship, we have stayed in touch for years and grown closer than when we were neighbors and serving in a church calling together.  Love her.  Love her example of commitment to our friendship.  I am going to miss you, Gerrie!

Every time I am with her she asks me how my kids are doing and tells me she loves them.

With Love, on

I have a friend like that. How lucky. It's so nice to know there's someone who will always stick with us. Well, guess my husband has too. But it's different righ?
