Old Friends

Old shoes and old friends make us comfortable, make us laugh, make us remember silly things that made us act daft. Looking at photos of us back then, Remembering the days when we both were thin, sharing secrets, sharing dreams of future hopes and happy schemes. Now we've lost our youth. We apply wrinkle cream. We wear comfortable shoes and dye our gray hair. But still we are "that crazy pair"! By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: April 25, 2008 "All Rights Reserved"

This rings so true to me. One of my dearest friends passed away Jan. 14...very unexpectedly. I am still in shock.
