I was lucky enough to spend the weekend with these amazing women. It's hard to believe that have been in my life for 35 years now. We all worked at Fort Mackinac in the late 80s and early 90s.
For years we always got together once or twice a year, but over the last few, we let life get in the way of our get togethers. And then, our number got smaller. Our dear friend, Chandra, passed away unexpectedly last spring.
So we have renewed our promise to get together as often as we can.
Not every one of us can make it every time we meet, but we've decided to do the best we can since we never know what tomorrow may bring.
Kelaine, Rachel, Michelle, and Shannon - thank you. Thank you for making our friendship a priority; thank you for sharing your joys and frustrations and listening to mine; thank you for a weekend full of love and laugher; but most of all, thank you for 35 wonderful years of friendship! I can't imagine my life without each and every one of you.
How glorious to have friendships that span the years like that! I'm so glad you take the time to celebrate your friendship and I'm so sorry you lost one of your own. I wish I had friends like that who were close by! ❤️
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Chandra.
ReplyDelete:) I find the biggest problem is first recognizing I am old enough to have friends for 40+ years ;) You are blessed!!
