Good Friends

It’s such a blessing to have friends that no matter how far you live apart in distance or how many years linger between your visits, no matter all the changes you go through in life ... will always be good friends.

Elissa & I have a friendship like that. In high school we were inseparable. We worked together, played soccer together, spent weekends at each other’s places, and even vacationed together (Elissa had the ‘honour’ of coming to Europe with my family back in 1998!). We always dreamed that we’d end up living in Burlington, teaching at a Christian grade school and coaching the sports teams together.

Little did we know then that we’d end up living 20 time zones apart…Elissa on the shores of New Zealand and myself on the shores of Canada’s Sunshine Coast.

However, one thing remains: our friendship. Time zones, oceans, continents separate us, but Elissa will always be a dear dear friend.

Here’s to a wonderful visit from Sean & Elissa – to strolls down the Willingdon Beach Trail, catching fish with Papa Jimmy on the ocean, rescuing jelly fish along the white sandy shores of Savary, and just simply ‘being’ together.
