Denise took me to lunch today for my birthday! You might ask ...for this year or last? It's for my last birthday .... I am still the same age right? Things get busy in the summer and Denise struggles with her health and has had multiple surgeries in the past few months. I appreciate her remembering and wanting to take me even though she didn't need to. She called me before my birthday and wished me Happy Birthday...that was good. I know she remembers me and thinks of me like I do her. I feel bad that we don't see each other more often. (life gets busier) I am glad that we do try to at least celebrate our birthdays by going out to lunch. I enjoy those yearly visits.
Denise is a great example of why visiting teaching is important. She was my visiting teacher when I first moved to Roy. It was then that we became dear friends. We have shared so much over the years. I admire Denise's strength. She has had some tough challenges but keeps doing the right things. Oh I love my friend Denise! I hope that we will be able to continue celebrating our birthdays for many more years! Birthdays are Good! (wink)
