We had lost track of one another after Gar-Field and through Facebook found that we live within 30 minutes of each other and have girls with much the same interests. Kim - Shari's daughter - is older than Ruth but younger than Nikki. Ruth and Kim get along great and share many interests which means Shari, Brent and I get to spend time together. In fact they allowed me to spend Christmas day with them while Ruth was out of state at her father's.
Shari is an amazingly sweet lady - just as I remember from school - who spends her days teaching in a small rural County Middle School just the other side of the mountains from Roanoke. Today she is at work teaching our future but I pray that she has a day filled with good wishes and moments of surprise and happiness such as benefits the birthday of such a special person.
So... in honor of this day Shari -
May God bless you just as you have blessed the lives of so many around you,
May He fill your day with warmth and laughter and your evening with the comfort and love of your family,
May He shine His face upon you this coming year with mercy and grace - and may you always know that you are loved!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FRIEND!
