70 - BEST FRIENDS

BEST FRIENDS

14 x 21 inches

(The middle lake on our farm)

This is one of the three lakes on our farm. The distant row of trees surrounded my best friend’s farm. When we were together, time flew by with lightning speed. Clare Ann was always happy and kind to the core. Together, our imaginations ran wild. Using a flatbed wagon for our stage, we dramatically acted out our own musical productions using our fullest singing voices. Sometimes we giggled so hard our sides ached. We even became blood sisters like we had seen on the Mickey Mouse show.

Clare Ann expanded me far beyond what I had known. Our friendship taught me the importance of best friends. As our lives evolve, we often move on, but our past best friends hold irreplaceable spaces in our hearts. Even though a changing life often presents new best friends, the memories of all of our best friends remain forever.
