I have missed my friend and finally had a wonderful visit with Lorrilee today. I met Lorrilee many years ago when her brother married my sister. I liked her the moment I met her. Then years later Larry and I moved our 2 little kids into Lorrilee's ward and that's when I really became friends with her. So we have been friends for a long time. I love Lorrilee and admire her so much. Lorrilee and her hubby just returned from their mission in New Zealand. I visited with her briefly a few months ago when they returned but that's all. Since she has returned she found out she had Breast Cancer and has had a few surgeries....the last being a mastectomy just Friday. Lorr is amazing and has such a wonderful attitude....no wonder she is doing so great. We were even able to go to lunch and celebrate her birthday which was Thursday, Valentines Day. We spent many hours together today and I know it meant a lot to Lorr as well as myself.
Lorrilee made me feel good while we were just visiting when she said that when I came in the door it was like having "Sunshine" enter the room. Ohhhhhhhh.....I had to get up right then and give my dear friend a big hug. What a wonderful compliment that means so much to this girl. (my school friends have nicknamed me "sunshine" too and I like it!) Having that said to me makes we want to try even harder to be happy!!!
I loved spending the day with Lorrilee and visiting and sharing our testimonies with each other and laughing and simply enjoying each others company. I sure love my sweet friend!
