Happy Birthday!

Debbie,

Happy Birthday!  I can’t believe you are going to be 40!  Wow. I can't imagine what that must be like...

Debbie,  thanks for being such a good friend through the years.  I could not have asked for a better, more true friend growing up!  You were always an inspiration to me.  You are a good, good person and I love you.

I found this poem this week.  Do you remember? 

Forever Friends

Long ago and a far way, at a beautiful place in the sky

I met you, and you met me.  We were best friends, you and I.

We danced and played and laughed and sang-we let our talents grow.

We tried to learn most everything that on the earth we’d have to know.

And now we’ve met down here again! And though we might move far.

The friendship that’s stayed pure so long will never yield a scar.

Cause Forever Friends are special, and soon we both will see

That as we were so long ago, it’ll always be you and me.

1985 or 1986

We had such a good childhood.   Thank you for being a Forever Friend even as we have moved so far from each other. You are a treasure to me.

Love, Lena Marie
