Dear Sheila,
Happy Birthday to a dear friend. I am so glad we have reached this year together after so many years of friendship. Twenty five years ago you stopped by a picnic at a park in West Rogers Park and we discovered we were about to be neighbors. For years we were neighbors which allowed our friendship to grow. I am so thankful for that time we lived next door to each other. Eventually you followed your dream to own a split level in Skokie and moved away. Fortunately for me our friendship continued. We have shared many ups and downs in our life: the excitement of raising talented children, the frustration of marriages gone awry, the loneliness of being a single mom and of course the fun of traveling together. You are a wonderful confidant and I am always so grateful that you are able to hear my story. In the course of our friendship, you have taught me a wealth of things. If it wasn't for you I would not be blogging for the first time ever. I hope that my friendship brings you as much pleasure as yours does to my life. I hope that the decades to follow will bring you great joy. I look forward to sharing many more joyful times together. Happy Birthday, my friend.
Love,
Zena
