While visiting and beginning a full day of Women’s Conference I heard ‘Tara’ called in the midst of a cordial conversation. I looked over and didn’t even have to retrieve her name from the depths of my brain as I usually do and surprisingly said, “Marlene!” and then we embraced. I hadn’t seen Marlene in probably ten years which is sometimes impossible to believe since we really do live in a small area. She used to do my nails and hair for many many years and we became such good friends. She then had to care for her mother for a bit and we lost touch. The kids remembered playing at the park across from where she used to work and live while I was attempted at being primped and beautified. Micah was with me today and Marlene remembered her being just a little girl then. Galene knew Marlene too so we all sat together and caught up.
