My Best Friend

Pearle and I were best friends in Bible School and I am very thankful that we have been able to stay in touch with each other since that happy/sad graduation day in 1975.

 We both went on for further education in Ontario so were able to fit in visits quite often.  She studied to be a nurse, married the love of her life (from the Dominican Republic), has seen their son grow up and continues to work in Administration in Health Care in Ontario. 

Even though we literally lived worlds apart, we have both tried to think of creative ways to stay in touch.

• She was one my bridesmaids in our wedding.      
• She flew down to spend a week with us each time we furloughed in Nova Scotia.

• Pearle and her sister flew to England to attend Craig and Claire's wedding in 2004.
• Since we have had several visits to the Niagara Falls area in the last 10 years, she has often fit a trip to this area into her very busy schedule.
• In 2008,  just before we moved to England, she hosted a reunion for 3 of us N.B.B.I. 'girls' and our spouses in their home in Port Perry

 Our latest time for catch up was this past week-end. Pearle and her husband Reynaldo, came to Ryan and Kara's for a few hours and then took us out to eat at Mama Mia's for some yummy Italian food.  



Since Noah was brave enough to count from one to ten in Spanish for Reynaldo he was rewarded with a loonie!

 The Lord has blessed me with this very kindhearted, fun loving and steady friend. Even though distance and time has separated us for years, when the opportunities arise for us to get together she jumps at the chance which is very much appreciated.
