I am reminded that friendship is a gift.
Friendship comes in many forms—long-distance friends, friends across the street, friends we have known for 30 days, and friends we have cherished for 30 years. Yet there seems to be something special that allows us to call someone a true friend.I am reminded to cherish those I call friends because they will not always be here.
Today, I want to honor and cherish one such friend.
We worked together years ago and then again more recently. She was full of life. She was the friend who came to your aid when you needed help, who listened without judgment, and who could always make you laugh. And boy, was she funny.
My dear friend, thank you for your friendship. Thank you for the laughter, the kindness, and the memories. You will be missed!
