Memories

What makes a memory special? I can think of any number of adjectives to describe what I think. A special memory contains a fun activity, a sad activity but most importantly I think of the person the memory is made with.
Today my best friend from high school is celebrating her ?? birthday. Sadly, I am not able to be with her today. I am in Utah and she is in Massachusetts. But as I've been sitting here thinking of her and the fun and memorable times we've had together there a number that come to mind.
We both belonged to a recorder group that met early mornings before school. We participated in a number of recitals. There was the many nights spent together as we visited and helped one another through rough days. Working together at Godfather's Pizza. The driving too and from together and the many talks we had. Then of course there was the trip to Montana. What good times we had we everyone in the group.
What I remember most is the feelings of love that she always showed me. The help she gave me to get through hard days and times. I don't know if she will ever understand how much she helped me, and continues to help me.
I love you Tia and have a WONDERFUL birthday!
