I am regularly in awe of the journey God has placed Heather and me on. It is a journey that started so many years ago. And to think we would be in this space today is nothing but an act of God’s kindness to each of us!
So many years ago, before I kept digital pictures, I worked with Heather’s Mom at Sunshine Community Church. I got to know Heather through our time at Sunshine together. We enjoyed life, laughter, fun, and friendship. Her oldest son was born, and we shared what we believed to be, at that time, a season of life.
Much to my surprise and in a delightful reuniting of friendship, Heather applied for a job at Visiting Angels more than 17 years ago. I love remembering how Heather says she felt like she won American Idol when asked to join our team. I realize I won the lottery that paid out daily!
Having Heather as a friend and co-worker is like being on an adventure show. I appreciate Heather’s commitment to living her best life joyfully and seeking truth, justice, and excellence. Heather loves deeply, lives passionately, and offers her gifts generously! Heather and I have journeyed together on our best and worst days. We have navigated abundant laughter and deep conflict. We have come to know and trust one another deeply, a beautiful gift in friendship and life.
I am so grateful for this friend God has given me. I have been so honored to witness God’s goodness in her life. It has been so good to know and love her husband and children. I have loved watching her kids go from being young to just like that into adulthood. She loves them and who they love. They are now establishing their careers and families. To know Heather as a young mom, a wife, an honest friend, a co-worker, and a business partner as we launch our new business on the side of the full life we both enjoy is such a gift to me!

Happy Happy Birthday, Heather. I am thankful for your story and God’s goodness, protection, and provision in our lives! I look forward to what is still to come! May we give ourselves to others to improve their quality of life and relationships!
Enjoy a few pictures that show you the joy of being friends with Heather.
