Margaret and I had known each other for 58 years. Best friends for 56 years.
In June 1980, we took a 2-month leave of absence from our jobs to backpack across the U.S. We did just that!
We left as best friends and returned as best friends.
The trip was amazing!
Many lessons were learned, new friends were made, and many adventures were had.
Margaret always wanted to find her Prince Charming and have a family. I would always say, Patience, my friend.
She did find her Prince Charming (Lee). Together, they bore three children: Judith, Jesse, and Jonathan. Her dream/desire was fulfilled.
Although life in general put space between Margaret and I. Three things would forever remain: our deep-rooted faith, and our admiration and love for one another.
" What we once
enjoyed and
deeply loved, we
can never lose, for
all that we love
deeply, becomes
part of us."
Helen Keller
