Happy Birthday

This morning when I opened Facebook, it alerted me to the fact that one of my friends (this a real friend, not a Facebook 'friend') had a birthday coming up.  I had to stop and sigh because, as you know if you've been following this blog, my friend Jane went Home last month and will not be celebrating this particular birthday here.  

So, no need to send her birthday greetings or think of an appropriate gift (what do you get for someone who truly does have everything?) and while I could 'unfriend' her so that I no longer get these notices, I think I will leave her listed among my friends.  Every year at this time I will receive this notice and I will again sigh and smile and remember.

No, no more birthdays for Jane, but a forever of joy, wonder and awe at the sights she is seeing, the music she is hearing and, best of all, the face of the King she served so joyfully on this sad planet.  

See you in the morning Jane.
