Happy Birthday to one of my very best friends, Emma Wad! (No, that’s not her real last name. It’s an endearment.)
Emma recently moved to the east coast, which makes my leg bounce up and down with joy every time I think about it. Our first east coast get together will be next week, when she and our other good friend Josh come to stay for Thanksgiving.
Emma is a special education teacher; she’s started a brand new program at the school. She’s also amazing at sign language and has taught us many absolutely marvelous signs.
The picture above is one of my favorite pictures of Emma. It was taken our junior year of college when we both had single rooms in the extraordinary Mason Hall. Emma could often be found in my room in that papazan chair eating various things while we watched DVDs and laughed about things.
Once we made up a song about Emma Wad, which is sung to the tune of Stacey’s Mom by Fountains of Wayne. Sadly, no known recording exists of our version, so I’ll have to settle for posting the original as a tribute.
Cheers, Wad! See you next week!!
