I most certainly will. I met her by chance when she was having a yard sale. She was 16 and I was 18. She had gotten married at an early age and had a newborn son. She is still married to her husband today. She had no friends as she was new on the street and so she saw I came only 3 houses down. She asked if I would like to come by later and perhaps play Uno or some other game. That was the beginning of our friendship. We were always there for each other and when I finally got married and had my first son at the age of 24, she had her last child, a little girl the year before. So that daughter grew up with my two kids as I had a daughter the next year. We've cried together, went to church together, had a few spats and made up and literally were like sisters. In fact, she was the oldest of 4 girls and she even told me that she looked up to me like I was her oldest sister.

We don't get out much together anymore as we live in the same town but spread across a distance, but we make it a habit to go out together on each others birthdays and we try and visit on Christmas. I went to her Mom and Dad's funerals as they both died a few years back and about 7 months apart. They always made me feel a part of their family. I have 3 sisters also, but I am the middle sister and I always felt much closer to my best friend Darlene (Vinis, pronounced Venus) aka Munchin (grandma's nickname). She goes by all three of them. As long as I don't give a last name we should be fine. My kids couldn't pronounce her nickname Munchin (that's what I call her) so they call her Monkey. It's good to sit down and reminisce ones past.

Sorry, I didn't mean to drag on. It's a sentimental thing I guess. Praying for her healing.
