Liz, Lizard, Uz-
Happy Birthday my friend!! It’s about time you entered into the 40’s with the rest of us!! Although, it always seemed like you were my age- I never felt the year difference in age. So, either you are very mature or I am immature!! Regardless, you look great for your age!!
How do you sum up a friendship that spans 25 years and most of it has been spent living hundreds of miles away from each other!! I know you are a kindred spirit because we can go forever without speaking and when we do it’s as if time hasn’t passed by. I love you Liz!!
I credit you with helping me make it through some pretty tough spots in my teenage years!! I made it through early morning seminary because of carpooling with you in the wee morning hours!! I survived break ups with boyfriends because you were always there to be my friend. I enjoyed many hours of ‘good’ fun, playing really silly games and acting like an animal with you. I had some really fun double dates , Morps, and formal dances with you and our dates. You so often were there to pick up the pieces of my life and help me put them back together. It was always more fun going to a Stake/Young Adult Dance with you there. Thanks for always making me smile and laugh!!
As we’ve grown to adulthood- I’ve really come to admire you for your strength and fortitude through some of life’s greatest battles. You, my friend are a great example to everyone around you.
In the words of a great song we shared many years ago-
“YOU ARE THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS!!”
I love your guts!!
Michelle Manwaring Lee
