A Tribute to Sally (That Girl)

Yesterday marked a year since I lost one of my closest friends. In college we were partners in crime, roommates, and best buds. We remained close over the years but she moved 4 hours away so it was hard to stay in touch as often as we used to. Last July, she lost a short but devious battle to tongue and throat cancer.

When they say the good die young, it rings true in this case. Sally was one of my funniest, wildest, fun-loving friends who had a larger than life personality and laugh...People were just drawn to her.

I'm not gonna be sappy anymore... She was never the sappy kind. It was to laugh it off or drink it off with her. So in tribue to our crazy days in college and friendship that remained after, these are just a few memories of her that will always stay with me and make me laugh... 

~ Staying up late til the wee hours of the morning drinking huge bottles of white zinfandel and talking about life, love, etc. (We drank so much white zinfandel, I can no longer stand the smell or taste of it).

~ Doing donuts in the dirt parking lot of our college after we got out of class. 

~ Partying down to the song "Sally That Girl" at our local college bars. That was her name. She had to represent.

~ Riding around town in her black SUV we named Peggy Sue and jamming to Mike Jones or the most ghetto songs we could find.

~Bar hopping downtown and doing Irish Car Bomb shots. The Irish in her loved Guinness, Jameson & Car Bombs. 

Those definitely were the days when we were young, wild and free. Miss you girl friend!

Rest in Peace Sally. Apart, but close at heart.

Love,
Emilz
