As we pass through this life we will meet many people. Some people meet for a moment in time, some are for a season, some are for a lifetime. Some people have friends forever and some have fleeting friends. When you find your best friend, you know it. Brenda is just that friend. Bren and I have known each other since 2002 and were work friends....you know, the type of friend you see just at work and every once in a while you would go out to dinner or something. In 2005 when Bren was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, that all changed. Unbeknownst to us, we became Soul Sisters over her cancer. When Bren asked me why I was there during her chemo treatments, I thought that was odd.....why wouldn't I be there? I never thought twice about it. Friends shouldn't be there in only the good times, but also the bad.
I have 3 biological sisters and she has 2 biological sisters and 1 brother. It isn't like we were searching for another sibling, but that is just what happened. Since then we have cried together, prayed together, had our disagreements together, but most of all we have laughed together. Bren and I laugh at life, at ourselves, and at situations that arise. She knows what I'm thinking before I say it. When I hurt, she hurts. When she hurts, I hurt. When I act like an idiot, she tells me. So if you are wondering why I am so involved in Purple Ranch Lavender Farm; think Soul Sisters. Got Lavender?
