I met Denise through my daughter Molly. Like any friend of one of my kids, that gives them a head start in the respect department. Still, there is an initial assessment period during which my instincts take over as to what kind of friend they are. It took me about 2 seconds with Denise.
Once in a while, if we are lucky, we meet someone with which there is an instant comfort level. There was that with Denise, at least from my side. Many times, the people I admire the most are those that manage to emanate a warmth and kindness about them with very few words being spoken. As i found out over a casual lunch, she has that way.
Today is Denise's birthday. She is fresh back from a vacation on the beaches of Mexico and in the attack mode a work. I wish her the happiest of birthdays.

I could not agree more about Denise…
ReplyDeleteHonest and trustworthy? Check.
Knows when you’re happy, sad, pissed off, checked out, checked in, need to cry, scream, laugh, work, play… or all of the above at once! And she’ll be right there with you? Check.
Someone that can find humor in the same things that make you laugh (um, I can see you.) especially when its probably not entirely appropriate to laugh, and can laugh before she even knows what you’re laughing at or makes you laugh for no apparent reason at all… PRICELESS.
You just have to love Denise. You just have to!
