Remembering........

I had a friend, long since dead, who left an indelible mark on my life. Two memories stand out. The first. She cradled our Spina Bifida, hydrocephalic baby in her forearms and gently told him how beautiful he was. Secondly. I and two of my children came down with the chicken pox at the same time. She took my eight month old home to care for her without a seconds hesitation. Some time later, I told her how grateful I was. She looked at me in astonishment and said, "You don't know how honored I was you asked me!" Her name was Audrey Clapham. Never to be forgotten. Remembered with the greatest of love..........marge
