More Friends

This past week I had the opportunity to get together with two of my school friends. We met at Los Hermonos and got caught up on what's going on in our lives. Kim, in the white sweater has been my girlfriend since 2nd grade. We met at Edgemont Elementary and she lived about a 1/2 mile from me. We have shared so many fun times growing up. She was my rock when I needed her throughout our school days. We were in the same ward also and our parents weren't active so we always walked together to church and went to mutual together. Her mom recently passed away and I was able to go to her funeral. Going to her funeral made me realize how much I've missed my friendship with Kim. Life is so short. I called her a few days after to see how she was handling her mom being gone and we decided that we're not going to allow time to go by without knowing what's going on and seeing each other. She's got a great family and grandchildren like I do. She's so special to me.

Judy is a friend that we met in Jr. High School. She has always been so much fun. I hadn't seen her for like 15 years even though at Christmas time we'd send cards. She got married when she was a Jr. in high school so she missed out on a lot of our senior fun times. She's still married to her sweetheart and has kids and grandchildren too.

Friends are such an important part of my life and I've been blessed with the best ones. I know if I ever needed anything they would be there in a heart beat. I'm looking forward to more times together now and keeping up on each others lives.
