Memories

Tonight I treated my best friend to dinner as a birthday gift. She recently made it back to New Orleans and she was deserving of a night out without the kids. It was her 33rd birthday and I wanted to take her where ever she wanted to go. She selected the restaurant and she was satisfied with her selection. I wish I could have done more for her. She is my best friend and I can't imagine my life without her. After dinner, we came back to my apartment and she asked if I had our high school year book. It was one of the few things I was able to salvage from my apartment. I handed it to her and she just looked at how young we all looked. It took me back to the good ole days when things were easy. We didn't have a care in the world, we had fun and we were happy for the most part. As children we understood that we were less fortunate than some of the other kids in school with us, but we knew we wanted something more out of life. Most importantly, we had each other. Neither one of us knew then the friendship and bond that would eventually develop between us. She is the only good thing that happened to me in high school. She has been there for me everytime I needed her and for that I will always love her. So here's to you friend on your day. Happy Birthday Tara and I love you from the bottom of my heart!!! Thank you for being who you are and please don't ever change for anybody. Keep your smile and your personality because it not only shows how beautiful you are on the outside, but also on the inside. I love you!!!!
