Joelle arranged a birthday surprise for Tina this yr. It was special because it was simply a gathering of old time good friends, with our spouses and kids, and to be mother - joelle herself.
We met earlier at her apt, brought some food, decorated it, and patiently waited for the VIP to arrive. Then the party began. We wore eye masks, and there were streamers too. She was touched to tears, what a surprise, she was completely taken aback. Thanks to the well planned organizers.
It was heart warming that we made it a point to be there. It was times like this, when a friend was going through tough times, that we come round to support and encourage, and pray. Seeing the pictures bring back many fond memories, how we have changed in many ways, yet stayed the same in most ways, like the hair styles and the smiles, the height, and sizes too ... incredible.
I was sure blessed to be there.
