Ode To Beth V.

Every now and then, a person comes into your life who you really hope to stay close to, even at first, when you barely know them. These are the people who are "worth the effort." Even if they move out of town. :( Even if they are busy. :( Even if you don't see them nearly enough. :( When you do see them, your troubles seem lighter and your spirits seems higher. :)

Happy Birthday, Beth Anne. You are definitely worth the effort!

Etcetera.
