MHS Class Of 1965

July 29^th - 31^st, 2005

Thanks to Jackie (Buckingham) Tomsha.

I wanted to share this with you. Since the Class Reunion, my friendship with Margo (Anderson) Foote and Pam (Million) Pauley has taken off, just as if we have not been apart through E-mails.

This says it all.. I'm so glad that I went to the Reunion.

Time passes.
 Life happens.
 Distance separates.
 Children grow up.
 Jobs come and go.
 Love waxes and wanes.
 Men don't call when they say they will.
 Hearts break.
 Parents die.
 Colleagues forget favors.
 Careers end.

BUT...........
 Girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how
 many miles are between you.
 A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can
 reach.
 
 When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have
  to walk it by yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim,
  cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
  your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
  Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you.
  Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, daughter-in-laws, sisters, sisters-in-law,

mother, mother-in-law, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family, bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without them, and neither would I. 

When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no
idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead.

Nor did we
know how much we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.
Pass this on to the women who help make your life work.
I just did.
