It's usually about this time of year when the memories of times past come rushing to me...you were for many, many years a huge part of my life and I welcome the memories that invade my head. I pull out the photo albums and remember good times and bad...silly things we did and pranks we pulled. Oh the drama we had in our lives! I wouldn't trade them for anything. Thank you for the memories, my friend. You were a joy and you always brought a smile to my face.
