P. 37
C an’t believe you’ve hit 6-0.
Where did all those years so quickly go?
All my life I’ve known you Trip to Europe in a whirl who knows where
Work for Nestlé, cropped your hair
When we met I was one or two To visit your fi rst apartment, I came
Pictures show us on the farm “Stouffers uses real cheese”, you proclaim
Too young to recall but we had charm “Häagen-Dazs it needs to breathe”, you
declare
You playing the accordion, ringlets in your hair Christmas parties and Stouffers coupons
Room full of dolls, with eyes that stare everywhere
Jumping on the bed - oops it broke, stories of
the day Watching baseball with a marketer’s spin
Your Mom making sure we ate okay Let’s see the ads and yes Jays win
Celebrating on your wedding day
You had long hair, but when Hairdresser we Then you lived not far away
would play
I was the model, well it usually turned out okay Moving up the ladder and around the world
We are cousins, we’d incorrectly reply with glee Soon enough a baby girl
But you became more like a big sister to me Living in Ohio, then in York
Then back to Toronto you would work
Off to high school, in royal blue, you led the So much to do I recall
way How did you manage to do it all
Athlete, scholar, president, come what may
Our mothers talking on the phone Time is short they say
Your mom always worried until you came home Family and friends passed away
To University at Queens with spirited rowdies Life begins and who knows when it will end
I came to see and I remember hot toddies But I am happy to have had such a friend
Happy Birthday Terri!!!
To many more healthy & happy years ahead!
Love, Louise
All the best, Happy Birthday to
you! Thom
