Christel Oliphant is what we call an LLF. Lifelong friend.
It’s hard to remember when I didn’t know her. Miles separate us now. Still Christel proves the saying true: Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.

Another wonderful post that made me stop and think. I remember the helpless patriotism that I witnessed was both poignant and heartbreaking at the same time.
Much love to you for helping to keep those feelings where they belong… in front of us.
Thanks, R. We can’t dwell on it, but we can’t forget either…
This would have been my choice too Aimee. Beautifully written and heartbreaking to remember. It was perfect the honor the “forgotten town” that will never forget.
Thank you, Lisa. We must never forget…
