Eighty years ago, three baby girls were born within three weeks of each other-- one in New York, one in Wisconsin, and one in Pennsylvania. These girls grew up to be exceptional women, raising a family, providing leadership to their church and schools, leading organizations they supported. They made the world a better place.
After many moves around the country, it seems they were destined to find each other living on Lake Norman in North Carolina. They became friends. They walked together earning the name Walker-Talkers as people heard them coming before they saw them. They vacationed together and were involved with the families of each other.
Their husbands became friends and planned celebrations in late August or early September to celebrate their joint birthdays. They had picnics at home with friends; they traveled to the North Carolina mountains for a weekend; on one birthday, they were surprised by a limousine pickup to take them to a restaurant to dine with friends; on another birthday, they traveled to New York City.
Now that they are older, they celebrated their birthday with another dear friend and ex-Walker-Talker, Mary Beth, in a restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina. As Bill, Rick, and I watched them, we could see the excitement of them being together and see the love for each other.
Thank you, God, for Priscilla, Pam, and Aloma. They have made the world a better place.
