Happy Birthday, Barbara!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend, Barbara.

"Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends."
- Mary Catherwood

That’s exactly what I felt about you the minute we met, I was so comfortable with you, as if from the very beginning we had been dear and old friends. We may not have been born of the same family, but we are surely sisters of the heart.

I read about an assignment recently where people were asked to make a Friendship Recipe and into that recipe they were to list all the ingredients they felt would make up the tie that binds them with their best friend (using only one-word lists, no sentences).
Here’s mine:
Help
Beauty
Hope
Concern
Loss
Heartache
Laughter

Jokes
Age
