Cherished Friend

You first introduced me to the 45 records, and we listened to some of your collection on the old record players.

 

I was so impressed with all your jewelry.  You even went down to the bead shop to buy cool beads to make your own necklaces and bracelets.  I think you were the first person who got me into jewelry.

 

 

We go way back, me and you.  You were my friend in grade school, and we had fun at each other's houses and running around the neighborhood.  Remember kim h?  She brought a little bizarre to our lives.  And it was the three of us for awhile, until she moved. 

 

We had the best time at the slumber parties that Tina threw for my birthdays.

Then came the awkward junior high years.  My mom made our clothes for the special occasions we went to.

 

Me and my sister were talking the other day, and the words she used to describe you were sweet, good, and down to earth.

 

My kids remember the smile on your face when we walked in your restaurant, the red meat tacos, and the pink cookies.

 

And then when I visited years later by myself, I got the special treatment and got to go in the back to chat while you made the food.  You always stuffed my tacos, and oh, that sauce!  We still talk about your famous tacos.  Did I ever say thank you for cooking for my family all those years? - all my family! 
thank you.
 

How I will miss our coffee time together.

That was our thing!

 

 

 

Look what I came across.

It's a card you sent me in grade school.

 

 

Well, this is me telling you I love you, you were a loyal friend, and I will miss you.

 

 

Tears are falling for you, Mea.

 

 

But the memories of us playing as kids

will stay with me forever.

 

Let us listen to one of the 45 records once again like we used to.  And if you remember, we sure wanted to walk down to loveland with t and a.  ; )

 

 

Peace, cherished friend.
