A Gift...

I received a gift in the mail on Thursday. It made me shed a few... My western friend sent me a CD. She is a runner, I like to run too. The CD she sent has all the songs on it that motivate her. They are some of her favorites and I enjoyed them immensely yesterday as I got on my treadmill. When I got to the last one, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I had to shed a few again. The warning label on the CD said I might think of her, but I didn't realize how over powering the feeling would be. I miss my friend.
