Have you ever had one of those friends that you know will last forever? One that you might not see for months and then you can pick up where you left off like you were never apart. One that when you need a lift, you just call her because she always makes you feel so good about yourself.
Judy Brammer and I met when we worked at Robinsons, sewing snowmobile coats, back in the old days. I quit work and she needed a babysitter for Cody, so I babysat him for 1 year. We raised our kids together. We loved to go to garage sales together, got together every Friday and tole painted, (thanks Craig for cutting out all the wood!), shopped till we dropped, hit the day after Thanksgiving sales every year, took the kids to the cabin, and just spent so many precious times together. I love Judy. I love all that I have learned from her. I love her quiet, sweet personality. I love that she has loved me unconditionally for sooooo many years.
