My friend Sarah

I have a friend. Her name is Sarah. I actually have a book started about her. We met when I worked at The Foot &Ankle Center, in Richmond, VA. She joined us when I had been there about a year and a half. When I first saw her, I thought we weren't going to get along. She was very nice, but nice people make me nervous. I don't know why, but they do. Little by little we became really good friends.

I don't  think I have met anyone like her. She is so mild. Now that I think about it, Denisse is kind of like her. Always smiling, happy, and just a great person to be around. She opened the doors to her home on various occasions, for BBQs, get togethers and what not. She even babysat my sick child so I could go and have an adult birthday dinner.

I remember her fondly and wish I could see her more often. I wish she could see how much Denisse has grown. I wish Denisse could have her in her life. She accepted me, just as I am. Never tried to change me, and even put up with me at my worse time. Even though her and I don't talk much she is always in my heart and I remember her fondly.

Today is her birthday. I truly hope she enjoys it with her family and friends. I wish I could be with her, give her a happy birthday hug and have a drink. I can't. I just want her to know that I love her and will always be grateful for having had her in my life when I did.

Happy Birthday...My friend Sarah!!!
