Barbb Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Rod's best friend was the guest of honor at a surprise 60th birthday party last night at his house. He had gone to Omaha with his wife and daughter to "shop". Their last stop was Cabella's and they couldn't get him out of there and were about an hour late!! Anyway, I drove Rod's pickup, it needs to get on the highway and GO fast, the county roads over there are awful and it had rained. The hardest part was when I turned off the highway and the 5 or so miles to their place, I didn't put on makeup because I knew the tears would come but it wasn't as bad as I expected. The pain is so deep, not so close to the surface and like a terrible raw feeling. BUT, the party was fun, he was surprised, LOTS of people came and his-son-in law and sil's sister planned it and did all the food prep. I visited with a two old friends and we are going to get together and stay in touch now by email. God is truly gracious to me. Barbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbb Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks, friends, it was a pretty big deal to go to that. It was the first social event with Rod's best friend since Rod and I went to dinner with them for his last birthday 9/15/07. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teriw Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi Barb, It seems it doesn't matter how many weeks, months, or years pass -- those "firsts" are all big. Whether they're traumatic or triumphant, they're major markers in this journey. I'm so glad you made it to the party, that you enjoyed it, and that you connected with old friends. And that you can see the blessings. Congratulations -- I know it's a big deal! Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I am glad you went Barb and it actually turned out to be a good time. I could only imagine how much anticipation was going through your head. But glad it turned out to be a pleasant time and certainly glad you got out and went.
