RE: This is my story! True Friends Last a Lifetime!
Great job, @charisma777!!! I'm so glad that @tecnosgirl dragged you over here.
Your story is one that needs to be read by a lot of people because it's very real -- and how you told it really brought me into it.
One thing that I remember was when you both ended up getting pinkeye right around the time of your middle-school graduation and you ended up getting quarantined at @tecnosgirl's place.
The doctor had just given you the go-ahead to get out and go somewhere, and you couldn't wait to do it. I believe that you were wanting to go to a graduation party someone was having, and I drove you to it.
That was the first time that I'd met you, but I had been hearing about you long before that, as she used to talk about you a lot -- all good.
The one thing that I remember was being surprised that you were white because the name Charisma sounded black to me.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your writings!!!
Thank you @ainsleyjo1952 I had forgotten the details of a lot of things over the years, I appreciate you stirring up those memories! Yes, I could not miss her graduation, not after the junk she had been through! I felt then I had her back, and still do today, I may have made some wrong choices along the way, but I have learned from each one of them. I look forward to your blogging I know what a creative mind you have, @tecnosgirl is lucky to have you as a godmother!
I'm lucky to have her as a goddaughter!!! You and she are an amazing pair -- a lot like my mom with four of her friends: Mary Fanchon; Bev; Fannie; and Edna with the first one being friends since first grade and the; the next two since they were in their 20s with Bev (Aunt Bev to me) being her maid-of-honor; and the last one sometime after she and my dad moved into their first home (an apartment in a house on the northwest corner of Ohio & Bronnenberg here in Anderson -- sadly, now standing empty).
You're right! I DO have a creative mind -- which is part of the job description of being totally-crazy and proud of it!!!
My folks got married 71 years ago tomorrow (2/8/2018)!!! If they had still been around last year, they would have turned 95 (April 6) and 100 (November 5) in 2017!!!
