Happy Birthday, Uschi!

Many years ago, by chance I was in a Doggy Chat Room looking for a pen friend in Germany. I had hoped to learn German, but honestly, I just don’t have that gene. But that fateful day, I met a woman who has become a sister to me, and her name is Uschi.

Through the years we write to each other, nearly every day. We have gotten together both here in the USA and in Germany, and the times we are together feel so very natural, as though we have always done this.

So today, on her birthday, I want to wish her a very Happy Birthday, and to thank her for being my very special friend and sister!

Happy Birthday and Much Love!

Happy Birthday, Uschi!

Today is the Birthday of my best friend, Uschi! We have been friends for a very long time, and our friendship has deepened, and now I think of her as a sister as well.

Uschi dear, I hope that your birthday is a good one and the year ahead, filled with sunshine and happiness! I send all of my love and many, many hugs!!!

Day 1

Monday was day one as a fifty-five year old woman! It wasn’t bad, really, but as it was Hubby’s medical day at the Veteran’s Administration Health Center, I was up and out of here pretty early on Monday.

I am amazed and appreciative of the quality care Hubby is getting through the VA. His service to our country in Vietnam has cost him dearly health-wise. Finally I feel like he is getting the testing and medications he has needed for some time.

I went with him to keep him company and also to make sure I could take notes and such. So when we got to the VA and I went to open my car door, I broke two finger nails! (Which up to that point, had all remained long and beautiful!)

I’ve decided I love Hubby’s podiatrist! Oh how I wish he was in private practice because I would go to him myself! He was able to treat Hubby’s feet and make a plan to treat the diabetic neuropathies in his feet.

I got home and I found a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my dearest best friend, Uschi!

The flowers are so lovely and were such a surprise!

What a wonderful birthday I had.

Fifty-five is actually pretty darn good!

Happy Birthday, Uschi

Today is the birthday of my best friend, Uschi! Oh how I wish she lived just down the street and I could bake her a special cake and bring it over, with a bottle of champagne, and celebrate the day of her birth!

Friendship

There’s a miracle of Friendship
that dwells within the heart,
And you don’t know how it happens
or where it gets its start…
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift,
And you realize that Friendship
Is God’s most perfect gift.

So Happy Birthday, my dearest friend and sister!

Happy Friendship Anniversary

Today is the 12th anniversary of my friendship with Uschi. You can go HERE to learn how we met each other. Over the years, we have written to each other almost every day. We aren’t able to speak on the phone like many people, but then, sometimes I think we know each other better because we can write all of our thoughts down and send them off.

When we get together and start talking, it is as if we just saw each other yesterday and we chatter along like two little parakeets!

It still amazes me, that when I least expected to find a friend and sister of my soul, I found one in Uschi!

Happy 12th Anniversary to us!

Happy Birthday Uschi!

Today is the Birthday of my dearest Friend and Sister in Soul, Uschi. I look back over the years and it amazes me how close we have grown. A simple friendship began all those years ago, and now, well I cannot imagine my life without her in it.

We do not see each other often. Usually every few years. However, we both take time each day to write each other and share our lives.

Thank you so much, my dearest Uschi for being my friend. May your birthday be filled with happiness and love and joy!
