On a warm spring afternoon in 1983, my 18 month old daughter was taking a nap when the doorbell l rang. I opened the door and there stood a smiling Ruby. She was selling Avon. I invited her in for a glass of iced tea and our wonderful friendship was born. In that initial meeting we discovered our children were nearly the same age and we were both pregnant with our second child. We lived a block away from each other and were both married to the love of our lives. Since that day, we shared playdates when our kids were small, our kid's birthday parties, breakfasts at I-hop, Denny's and Le Peep's, grown up birthday lunches at Luby's, Weck's and Christie Maes(Ruby, her Mom and I all had birthdays in May), coffee in our back yards or a park, and endless phone calls. Several years later, we both moved , just a few blocks away from each other. Our kids all graduated from Eldorado and moved on. But we remained steadfast friends. Ruby was one of those friends I could call in the middle of the night if I needed her and she would get dressed and be there. I never had to do that but I knew I could, and vice versa. I am blessed with friends that I have had since elementary school all the way to friends I've met in the last few years. They are all good friends but none of them are a better friend than Ruby was for nearly 40 years. I can only hope she felt the same about me. We were going to be roomies in the nursing home someday. I'm counting on her to save me a spot in Heaven so we can follow through with all those shenanigans we planned for. It will be such fun and undoubtedly bring joy to those witnessing our abandon and hearing our laughter!

What did I learn from Ruby? Where do I start? When I had no-one else I could share my deepest secrets with, she was always there. She taught me to look forward and not backward. Because nothing in the past that caused sorrow is going to bring you joy in the future. She taught me that no matter how bad things may seem, there is nothing so bad that a little laughter can't make it better. Laughter can't make it disappear, but it can and does make it bearable. We never once spoke to or saw each other in our 37 year friendship where we didn't laugh. She helped me laugh through my husband Vic's stroke. We laughed through raising our kids and navigating our marriages. We laughed through jobs we hated and jobs we loved. She helped me laugh again after the loss of my son Kevin. I like to think I helped her laugh through the grief of losing her dear, sweet mother and we laughed through her illness to the very end. She is the only person I've ever met that shared my warped, wicked sense of humor. Laughter is definitely the very best medicine!

Ruby was always a part of my life. We would visit her house when we went to grandma’s, because it was one block away. She was my cool older cousin that listened to Elvis Presley and the Beatles. Her house was a fairy land with it’s red carpet and pretty things sitting around. There was so much laughter and love in our lives. I’m going to miss her so much.

Ms. Ruby was a beautiful soul. Though we were only blessed to know her for about a year and a half she brought my daughters so much joy and love. They loved to draw her pictures and catch her outside where they would talk her ear off and she just stood there listening with so much love and joy for them. She will truly be missed but we know she is dancing with Jesus. Mr. Gary, Grant and Neil our thoughts, love and prayers are with you.

Gary, Neil, and Grant, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You were her first priority above all else and she always shared with me the depth of her love for all of you. That love remains with you. Ruby was my very dearest friend, a feeling I'm sure many others echo. She was always there to listen, to laugh and make light of irritations, hold me - both literally and figuratively - during my saddest, darkest times. We go could go weeks or months without talking, yet once we heard each other's voices or saw each other's faces, it was instant joy and continuation of where we left off last time. Her sense of humor was epic. As a fellow Taurus, one I could fully appreciate. The laughter and her kind heart are the things I will miss the most. As I've said to you already, she was the "Goodest" person I've ever known. She was a gift to everyone she met and made this world a much better place during her life. I am honored to have known and loved her.

Builders and Destroyers

There are two kinds of people in this world: Builders and Destroyers. Sadly, I begin to wonder if there are more Destroyers than Builders.

For example: Someone decides to do something they feel will improve their life. Better job, go to school, Change directions. They talk to 2 different people.

After speaking with a Builder, they feel hope…encouraged. They feel suddenly like “I can do anything!” There are feelings of Joy and Peace. Confidence is surging.

Now this same person decides to speak with a Destroyer. The Destroyer sends our negativity. He reminds you how difficult this will be to accomplish. So many obstacles. Suddenly your Joy that you were just feeling is gone. You are full of doubts. Why did you ever think you would be able to do anything different?

What just happened? You are still the same person with the same idea? Sometimes in people’s lives Builders can be scare and Destroyers are always out there. Go deep within yourself and be a Builder to yourself. As hard as it is, when a Destroyer gets through making their comments and sending out all that negativity- just remember their words and opinions often come from a lack of confidence and hope in their own lives. Remember the old saying “Misery Loves Company”. Maybe without even realizing it, down deep, they don’t want someone succeeding because in their hearts they feel like they have failed.

As for yourself – Be a Builder in Life. Encourage, Give out Hope. After someone has talked to you, feel that wonderful sense of Joy in watching them walk away a little taller with a smile on their face and a spring in their step. Feel that Joy and Hope in your heart for them and for yourself. After reading this, if you realize that without meaning to you have been a Destroyer: Stop and reassess how you truly feel. Next time someone comes to you with Hopes, Plans, and Dreams look at how they walk away after they have spoken with you. Did they leave looking dejected, sad, a little slumped and slow with no smile as they walked away or did they leave a little taller, smiling, and feeling like they are ready to take on anything.

Ultimately, we choose every day. Builder or Destroyer. Whose life have you touched today? Have you made them feel Positive, Better, Hopeful or Negative, Discouraged, Helpless? Our world needs more Builders.
