Happy Birthday!!!! Rest In Peace.

Today is my beautiful daughter-in-law's 21st birthday!!!! My son told me last night that we will be meeting them at Chuck-E-Cheese about an hour after he gets off work. BUT, we have no idea when he gets off work. No problem......we can be in a holding pattern until he calls. Sarah has NO IDEA how much I must love her if I'm going to Chuck-E-Cheese for her birthday!!! LOL!!! Loud noises, crowds, commotion all put me over the edge of over-stimulation and makes my brain spin. Chuck-E-Cheese is literally my idea of what hell would be like!!!!

On the sad note. My beloved and dear friend, Brenda Miyamasu, is being laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. As I type this, the ceremony should just be finishing up. I feel so empty and broken knowing that her wonderful laugh and her beautiful personality are gone from this earth.
I will never forget her...or all the things she taught me about friendship.

I just finished planting her tree. Yesterday, I drove to Georgetown and bought a weeping willow to put right in front of my window. I dug the hole this morning and then planted the tree when her internment ceremony started. It's her tree and I will always think of her laughter when I sit in my chair and knit and look out the window at that tree.
I got the plaque at the nursery with the tree and it is hung in my front porch.
