"Friendships do not die. They simply wait awhile. They quietly remember. In the absence of the beloved they age like good wine. I am happy to say in spite of the distance and infrequent letters, you are good wine in my life, always willing to be poured out again when the sacred moment returns." (Macrina Wiederkehr)
Very appropriate to put a Macrina quote on with my Jessica picture since we spent alot of time quoting her to each other "back in the day", including impromptu sessions sitting on the floor of the Young Life office. What a gift to my heart to have an unexpected visit from her today! Several years have passed since she last walked through those doors.....graduation, going on Young Life staff in another area, marriage and in less than 2 weeks, motherhood!!
People leave but they come back sometimes too! She hopes to move back to Chatt sometime in the near future - yahoooo!! There's been a hole here since she left that no one has been able to fill.
Love you, Jess!
