30 Day Blog - Day 13

Another Picture of Your Friends

"The better part on one's life consists of his friendships"
Abraham Lincoln
Sig and Carol, Christmas 2010

I love and admire these two ladies a lot. They have both enriched my life in so many ways.

Sig and I are different in so many ways and yet we have clicked. We don't get to see each other a lot but we always meet with fondness and great memories of the times we've spent with each other. Sig and her sister came and visited us in Holland and it was one of the highlights of our time there. We had so much fun. She always share yummy recipes and makes yummy food that I would never think to try. Her yard is a little bit of paradise and is so fun to walk through.

Carol and I are about like sisters. We have been next door neighbors for 18 years and walking partners for about 16 of those years. We've been through a lot of ups and downs together and I can only hope that I have been as great a support and friend to her as she has been to me. She is currently battling stage 4 breast cancer. She has lost all her hair including her eyebrows and eyelashes but today was her final chemo treatment. Yeah!! Her bone scan that was done right before Christmas showed no signs of cancer. What a miracle.
