Martha, was a dear dear friend, talked or texted each other everyday for 13 years. We met volunteering at Kaiser and became best of friends almost the minute we met. Many people thought we were sisters. We found out we went to the same high school, she was ahead of me, although we were the same age.... She skipped a grade, she was very smart. I had two sons, she had 2 daughters. I have all grandsons and she had grandsons, too.
I miss her everyday and I still find myself going to call her or text her and then remember she is gone. Often think, what would Martha do in this situation? I miss you!!
