72 Roses

Tonight we celebrated Faythe's birthday!!!

We went to their house at 7. Rose petals covered the entry floor.
Candles lit around the tables. And then 72 red, long-stem roses
awaited her on the center table.

I had the pleasure of helping Paul purchase her musical card a couple
weeks ago. She didn't even see us "scheming."

She said she feels more alive at 72 than at 50. She's really
enjoying life. She's really good and passionate about meeting
teachers up the river and training them. Wow, I'm so lucky to have
really gotten to know her through my time here. Happy Birthday, Faythe!
