Several years ago a gift was given to me! It was not a gift of material value and actually there is no price value you could give to this gift..it truely is priceless! This gift has seen me through sadness, happiness, tears and hours of endless laughter. This gift has guided me on the best paths and been at my side during many journeys. The greatest thing about this gift is that it is not a thing you can posses it doesn't belong to me it chose me and stays with me because this gift loves me as much as I love it. This gift is my best friend, "sister at heart", my voice of reason, my April!
I need to go back in time for a moment...April had been in my life for many years..we had worked together at the Shoe Shop and she lived in the same apartment building as my Grammie Eastman. I had talked to her off and on for years. Then one day on a beautiful summer afternoon when I had stopped in to visit my gram April was on the porch and she asked me if I had found a job yet. I was between jobs doing anything to earn some cash and she knew this. She told me about a position opening up where she worked and that I should go immediately fill out an application because the job hadn't even been advertised. I did just as she instructed and the rest is history. We have been best friends since. April knows how much she means to me and I know how much I mean to her. There will never be another April in my life..she is my one of a kind. I miss her and think of her on a daily basis..you see I had to leave her (she isn't so far away, but far enough that I don't see her everyday) and that was hard. April has since found a wonderful man to spend her life with and in two years when her "not so little girl" graduates she will be moving even farther away. But it is ok because distance won't change how we feel. Every day I celebrate our friendship, I thank God for her, I worry about her, I wish the greatest joy and happiness for her, I love her!
April thank you for everything you have done for me, you are my kindred spirit, my Taurus! Love ya Girl!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend with Norris sorry that I didn't get up to visit. Hugs and kisses to you and Norris and Danielle!!
