Happy Birthday, Lilli!

Happy Birthday, Lilli!

I went to school with a few awesome girls.  They basically ignored me for the most part (I being the nerd, and they being almost supermodel hot).  But for whatever reason, we had a friendship that endured for years.

At some point, I stopped seeing the majority of these girls, but one friendship has persisted.  Lilli was my closest neighbour growing up, and we attended the same public and high schools.  Although we went our separate ways after high school, we still enjoy calling one another on our birthdays, and when she visits my home town, I make an effort to get together.

Ironically, this weekend, she has returned to visit her parents and celebrate her birthday, while I will be heading out of town to visit my sister in Toronto.  Before leaving, I took the time to call her (first at her home, and then at her parent's home when I found out she was back in town).

I can't describe how happy it makes me feel to hear her voice - to know that she's doing well.  Happy Birthday, Lilli!
