It is Nuala's birthday today!
I have arranged to go down to London to meet up with her in September and I feel pleased that I can treat her to a west end show as a bit of a birthday treat...albeit a late one!
Usually it is her that treats me to something rather decadent!
Being Nuala's friend is as necessary to me as breathing. She has been my best friend, confidant, counsellor and fellow giggler for over twenty years now; we ring each other on the same day...we say the same things at the same time and boy can we laugh....and laugh, long, hard and with some gusto.
Nuala, like most of the people I love dearly, has a big heart. She is loyal, opinionated and consistently THERE for me albeit in the “wings” of my life.....however, she is never suffocatingly involved with me and mine...but remains a steadying, pragmatic and loving influence in my life.
I love her dearly

Lovely tribute to a good friend, John. Laughter can seal a friendship for eternity.
ReplyDeleteA Happy Birthday to your best friend!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple friends like that, they would help me hide the body....
Happy Birthday to your best friend.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds wonderful.
Love the pic!
Happy Birthday Nuala! cool name. How come she has to wait until September to enjoy a birthday bash with you? sorry (not really) if that is a rude question. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Nuala! You're so lucky to have a friend like that. Real friends, not acquaintances that we call friends, are rare, and to be cherished.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, great description of the kind of friend everyone longs for. You are both lucky to have each other.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, John's wing-woman!
Lucky you, to have such a wonderful friend. Happy birthday Nuala!
