The good old days!

"Click to make bigger"

I was looking up quotes about the "Good old days" and to my amazement, most of the quotes painted a picture of a distant memory that really wasn't so good after all.

When I think of the Good old days, I always think of a time when I was thirty something, raising a toddler, playing cards with my friends and going to softball games. Church potlucks, Christmas Musicals, sharing my life with friends that I knew would always be there. Only not, today we lost a friend, the memories are as clear as ever. His laugh still rings in my ears. We have been separated by miles, but we have never forgotten the days we shared. Friends like this are rare, they stand tall in the memories of our life. If I close my eyes I can see you there, where I saw you stand for years, listening, singing and worshiping the God we serve. I can still see you,ready to slam that ball into oblivion, ready to run those bases, ready to slide into home base. You are there RL, you are there in our memories and our hearts.

Betty, I'm proud of you. Your blog is great! How did you learn to do all of this? Those good old days were really good. It was tough saying good-bye to our long time freind,RL. However, we know that he is home with Jesus. See ya later.
