39 years of friendship

39 years ago I met my friend Jayne on the bus on the way home from school. A friendship that has been steadfast through school, and adult life, marriages, divorces, children, grandchildren, illness and separation, triumphs and celebrations. We gave our daughters, in this picture with us, each other's name as a middle name. When we meet, we just seem to pick up where we left off, chatting, drinking tea and laughing, always laughing at the silliness of life, even if we are in the middle of sad times. Best friend, oldest friend, dearest friend. A true blessing in my life, the closest I have to a sister.
