my meeting with Bonnie story: Daughter lives in Atlanta and I was going to visit her. Told her the one thing I wanted to do while there was to go meet and visit my dear Bonnie. Called Bonnie and said 'I'm comin to visit you'. She said 'come on'. We got there that morning and she, along with John, Kameron and Carola was right there at the planned meeting spot and I knew her instanly. We hugged and hugged and had instant bonding as we had in VR and email. We spent the whole day together. She was so gracious. We had pictures of us holding a big bag of grits, with a fake bear, and me trying to listen to her heart ticker. She gave me a gift bag and in it was a can of potted possum! She was the epitome of what southern belle means. I am born in Ga but am not a southern belle like Bonnie. Meeting Bonnie was so very special. We were fast friends and I miss her every single day.
Reading all these posts today has been so nice and, like some of the rest of you I am sure, brought the tears all over again.
Happy Birthday my dear Bonnie. You are in my heart and so many others. Thank you, God, for allowing me to know your special child and I know you will make her birthday a celebration in Heaven.
Nobody could "get you" better than Bonnie. She was a delight.
