Byington 3

What is it about some friends that is just so comfortable, so easy? And right through the passage of years, and separate journeys, that comfortable, easy way of just being together always stays the same? Pretty special when we can claim that. So, last month for a few days, 3 "girls" who became roomies and lived in Byington 3 in 1963 shared a small space and did a few things. Talked a lot, laughed probably even more, maybe cried (if only inside) a little. And here in 2008, the year we all turn 63, we know again that whoever it was at Gordon College 45 years ago who decided who would room with whom was right on! Mal and Sara and Sidy. The same and different. Sara with very short, very white hair. And that same wonderful laugh and total honesty. Mal with her little bags of metemucil and glasses; still a little confused. Sidy many pounds heavier but still up to tricks. (Am I the one who had to ask "What did you say?" the most often?) Yes, our journeys have been so different from each other. But we're still so very much the same "girls" we were so long ago. And we know that the eternal bond that ties us together is the best part of it all. For we each have had the same Rock, the same Guide, the same Light every mile of the way. Different joys, different sorrows, different stories. Always, through the years, able to see and hear each other, to know, to appreciate, to enjoy, to love. We're very blessed and thankful. Right, guys??? Love ya!
