My friend Chris's 65th birthday is this month. Her daughter sent out a Facebook message saying that she and her sister wanted to make a scrapbook for their mom's birthday and asked if anyone would like to write a well-wish, memory, photo, etc. to contribute to it.
I sent this picture and wrote the following:
Chris,
Here we are, you and I, sitting at your little white metal kitchen table having coffee. How many hours do you think we sat there, solving all of the problems in the youth group? I loved sitting at that little table. Thanks for being such a big part of my life at that time, and also for so many of our church kids. You had a way of being a role model without them really knowing it. They just thought of you as a friend they could talk to. Nothing really rattled you and they knew it, and that is why they could talk to you about things they would never talk to their parents about.
You were then, and continue to be, one of my favorite people!
Debbie Radtke
Happy Birthday Chris! I hope you enjoy your 65th birthday scrapbook.
