My Partner Moves On...









"May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed."

Psalm 20:4







~~~~~~~

Today my partner and friend, for the last 7 years, leaves to pursue her dream. Tricia will start the completion of her nursing degree. She now has to be a full-time student which means she has to leave us at the office. Tricia has become a dear friend, a prized sounding board, and companion on the journey. Tricia and I work as a team. We always know what has to be done and we do it. It is the kind of teamwork that requires no "assigned jobs". It just got done. I will soooooo miss that.
<*>

Tricia is a gifted and talented young lady with tremendous potential. She is a loving mother whose sons one day will know and realize her devotion to them. She is a wife who knows the value of compromise. All this and more, she knows and values the presence of God in her life.

<*>

And so it is with mixed feelings, Tricia, that I wish you success and know we will be seeing each other soon over breakfast to share our friendship.

~~~~~~~
Finally, I think this best describes Tricia and me.

Laughter.
The joy of sharing
the same sense of humor.
***
Knowledge.
Separate and shared.
Yours, mine, ours.
***
Support.
Always there when needed
to back each other up.
***
Friendship.
One of God's best gifts.

Thanks Be to God!

  1. You are too sweet. Thank you. I will be starting my blog soon--let me get adjusted to my new schedule. I got to say, I felt really strange not going to work to be with all of you.
    I love you.
