Ode To A Friend

It seems less than it is to call RHM merely a friend. Even 'my best friend' doesn't seem like enough. Stupendous isn't adequate either, but she is all of those things. Commenting on her service for others and desire to help doesn't really convey the reality of being on the receiving end. But I have, more times than I can count. But she keeps doing it. And it has not been the easiest year for her. What with the budget situation and the cutbacks - fortunately she got to keep her job - and then so many family members getting sick and/or passing away.
I am so proud of her strength and compassion and concern for others especially in the face of such personal trials.
I am just super impressed with her and can't really explain the depth to which I admire her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You're a marvel, RHM, you really are.

This is me, Happy Birthday to you.
