For the most accomplished and busiest one, the one with the most children (besides Tarelle, of course), the one who might not check out this blog to find that she actually got a birthday post - but, when she finally will, because I know, just KNOW she will; long after all the kids graduated, one day she will wake up and say "I wonder what i and nanaimo were up to all this time" - then, just imagine, how overjoyed she will be to find that yes, in 2015, during those months of restlessness and uncertainty, when the world seemed to have turned a corner, a new chapter was to be started, for better or worse, she DID receive a birthday note!
Oh how my heart soars when I imagine her wrinkly face breaking into a smile, her beady eyes, full of wisdom, welling up with tears of joy, her knobbly arthritis-ridden fingers tapping a response, hoping, wishing, WANTING that somebody is still out there to read it.
It is going to be a glorious moment, the proof of a friendship that survives years and decades of silence, where distance and time are meaningless concepts, because, my friends, what belongs together, will be together, no matter what.
OR, in short: BSZ, Lynx!
and a track to go with it:
