And one more birthday wish (at least until Friday)

Happy birthday, Hilary!



Hilary is the type of friend that can't be summed up in a single blog post, although a single acronym says a lot: LYLAS. Back in the days when people used to write letters rather than email, we might have signed off with this closing, which was short for Love Ya Like a Sister.



I've known Hilary since first semester freshman year of college. We pledged the same sorority, went to Europe together, moved to New York, well, not together exactly, but at the same time, along with everyone else from college; and then a few years ago, she up and left for her hometown in Massachusetts because it was a better place to raise a kid, which she happened to have had practically when the rest of us weren't looking.

I keep telling her I'll meet her back in Mass one day, but until then, I will leave her with this reminder of Freshman year:

Sorry - should have clarified - the picture credit goes to Hil. She's the one with the artistic talent, not me!

That's funny - I have friends like that. The ones who you can't help but love like they are family - the ones who have the pictures of you from the 80's date party and who saw you go from a freshman in college to a full fledged adult. It's cute to see your pics. You two look just like every girl in my sorority so it brought back some good memories. Happy birthday to your friend!
