FOREVER FRIEND

If you were given the title of Forever Friend by Doreen, you were given an amazing gift.  It's a badge you wear.  It's a sign of true friendship status.  It made me feel happy when I read it in a text, heard it in a voice mail, or saw it posted on Facebook.  It made me feel important, special and loved.  I may have not known Doreen the longest and although we didn't see each other daily or monthly at times.  She always let me know in her own special way that she was thinking of me.  That security of having her friendship FOREVER was so valuable to me. When we were together there was never any drama.  We began where we always left off. 

I'm going to miss the "girls only" trips with her and Holly. The times we went to New Hope to have some fun at the Raven. Going to cherish our special trip to Atlantic City to see Van Halen.  I will miss Christmas time in the city with Doreen.  Visiting the tree, shopping a bit and lighting our candles at St. Patrick's Cathedral.  I can hear her saying to me now.  "We have to get into the Christmas spirit, Rose."  I'm going to miss her and Frank walking together in mine and Rick's front door. Doreen with her little cooler.  Ready to make a special drink and bringing beer bread too.  I'm going to miss her phone calls to me asking me for that cookie recipe during Christmas time.  She would say, " I just have to make one more batch of cookies." and me saying, " How many cookies did you make? Oh my God!"  I will miss that special tin of Christmas cookies made with love.  I will miss our talks about our Yankees. I'm so glad Rick took us to see the game and to see the Yanks retire Mo's #42.  I will miss hearing you speak of Andrew and Leeann.  You letting me know what each one was up to.  Telling me you just want your kids to be happy, no matter what they decide to do in life.  You were never afraid or embarrased to share to everyone your love for Frank, your kids, your family and friends.  I will miss hearing you speak about our paradise, South Carolina.

 

Doreen, I want you to know I'm not happy you're a gone.  I'm so very sad.  But, the door of my heart is open to you.  I want you to be at peace and free of any pain.  I'm hoping in the days,weeks, months and years ahead that Frank, Andrew, Leeann and everyone that loved you keep remembering how strong your faith was. How you were always looking for signs of the people you loved and lost too soon.  You would say to me, " My mom and sister, Debbie came to see me today.  Two little cardinals outside my back porch."  I hope everyone will keep your faith alive and look for signs of you.  I know I will.  We will see each other again.  I will think of you every day and each and every time I see a sunset.  Rest easy my Forever Friend.

 

We love you,

Rose and Rick
