When I was in elementary school, my best friend was Leslie .....we both loved music and would sing together all the time. We were in the same class in 2nd, 4th and 5th grades, went to the same church and she lived just down the street from me, so of course, we had sleep~overs all the time.

We went to different high schools and even though we still went to the same church, we sorta drifted apart. When my Dad passed away 3 years ago, she was at the funeral, and afterwards, we sat and talked as though no time had passed. I love when that happens!

I also had a dear friend in high school ~ Claire ~ I named my oldest child, Melody Claire, after her. She was a free spirit and the one who 'encouraged' me to pierce my own ears. With a corsage pin! (How my ears didn't fall off, I do NOT know!) We went to different colleges, but wrote often. She was my maid on honor when I got married, and when she got married, I was pregnant with Melody Claire and I sang for hers.

Then we got busy in our own lives and lost touch. But we found each other by accident, really, when I was living in Dallas. She lived in a Ft. Worth suburb. Of course, now I hate her because she looked about the same! But again.....we didn't miss a beat. And over lunch, I came out to her and she didn't bat an eye. I will always love her for that.
