Meeting a Friend

It's been touch and go for me lately on writing. I haven't been a good friend to my fellow writers. I have checked in from time to time. I'm even a fan of the Facebook page. So I'm never very far. Yesterday, writing.com came to me...in the flesh. After many years of online friendship, many years of phone conversational hugs, shared laughs, and even some tears, I finally got to meet my friend, Michelle. We all know her as mibelleshine's and have come to know her through her daily sharing in Shellyville. We know the passion of a writer, the love of a mother and the faithfulness of a friend. We know her triumphs as a published author, the trials of raising her son, Jackson, and her goals of finishing school. If you know Shelly, you know one thing is always constant, and its her ability to bring a smile to your face, hope to your life, and be an inspiration to everyone she touches.
I am honored to have met my long-time friend during her visit to Arizona. She's even more sunny in person.
