Remembering “JUNE” FRIENDS…

Jun 25th Remembering “JUNE” FRIENDS…

When… each month rolls around – I don’t know if anybody else gives a second thought or two about “FRIENDS” whose BIRTHDAY… just happens to be in that month??? (But… I do!)

So, while I am thinking about this month of “JUNE” – – – one of my oldest and a very dear long time “FRIEND” was STELLA – from the Orphanage. Stella’s Birthday was on the 6^th of JUNE! Why in the world would I be able to always remember that date??? ( So many reasons – here are a few.)

For some reason – I do not remember the “WHY” for all of the “ORPHANS” to be dressed in some kind of costume and we marched for miles – and – as I remember – Stella and I were dressed in “INDIAN Squaw” outfits and as we were marching – Stella and I were receiving a heck of a lot of “WOLF” calls and whistles – and we were really enjoying the long marching – with such attention – just for us!!!

So, for her Birth date – she was highly energetic with a commanding personality and was always an excellent conversationalist – as I found out having been around her since we were both in the same grade in school… One other thing – each person had an assigned “NUMBER” – as everything that you own – was numbered. You – yourself was a NUMBER – as most of the NUNS would call “YOU” by your ” NUMBER” and very – very seldom – were you ever called by your name – and you got to know everybody by their NUMBER, too! My number was (91) and Stella’s number was (90) – and that is not because we came into the Orphanage at the same time – as she was in the Orphanage years before me. I liked that we had close numbers – because – lots of the things we did – we did together – almost like having the sister – which I really should have had!

On the (28^th) of JUNE was another terrific FRIEND! Met with her – soon to be a FRIEND for LIFE – her name is “Kelly” and with a couple of her small children – when she was “HOUSE” hunting into the Jefferson County area. She called the REAL ESTATE office that I was then working – – and I just happened to be on duty. “What – “Luck” – never could have know – that this was a meeting – that would last forever!”

Kelly has a highly magnetic personality – when with and always around her family – there was always success in whatever she and you are doing – she was always cheerful – very energetic nature – and with the greatest of skills – – as she worked in the medical field – – and she knew just what was right for everyone and made everyone so comfortable at all times!

Kelly had seven of the best children that you would want to be around – and at all times – Kelly and her husband did a lot of traveling – as that is what she would like to do. So often she would call me while I was still at the office – – and would invite me to stop by for supper – with her and the FAMILY – and this was always a “real treat” for me.

Sometimes in LIFE – YOU just never know when – but you may have a chance meeting – and all of a sudden… instead of just being “FRIENDS” – “YOU” are invited into a “FAMILY” – – that thinks of “YOU” as a part of their FAMILY – – and for all the occasions of LIFE!

Would you say… that the Almighty YAHWEH – does have a hand in the choices and selections that – you can or cannot make – depending on how you feel – but – in some of the “PLACES” and “SITUATIONS” that HE has “YOU” show up in – – “if “YOU” play YOUR cards right – YOU are really in there – for LIFE!”
