I met with a VERY dear friend of mine for dinner. She is moving out of state in a few weeks and so we met up to catch up and say our "temporary" goodbyes. I plan to visit her in the coming years and walk in the Ozarks with her!
She is one of these women in life that we judge before we know them. She was tough to play because she was so intimidating and I because incorrectly assumed sometimes rude. What I would find out was she was raised in a tough world, which made her a menace around the pool table. What I didn't know 10 years ago was this tough gal had a heart of gold and a love for life that most of us can only hope for.
She is one of those people that once we get to know the real them, they turn out to be a gem in the world and we find we are lucky if we get to be a part of their life. She has made a huge impact to me personally and even though I don't see her that much, she still has a part of my heart.
She has lived in the area (Dallas-Fort Worth) for over 30 years. And she mentioned last night that my friend Dave Faver and her used to play scotch doubles together about 20 or 25 years ago! I just smiled and smiled :) I love that so many people are still sharing stories about Dave with me. Warms my heart.
