A long-time co-worker of mine retired today. Her office held a surprise party for her to which many of her extended friends within the company were invited. So of course, we went.
After all, Val has been there for us. She’s worked in almost every branch of the company and in several departments. She’s always been cheerful. She’s quite good at her job. I love her approach to things (she thinks like I do).
My immediate boss & I drove over to the party in time to be there for the surprise part. Just before they led Val into the room, someone said, “Oh! We should have a camera!” Everyone looked dumbfounded and someone said, “Well, I’ve got one at my desk…” But of course there wasn’t time for that.
Guess who has a camera in her purse? All the time? It’s almost the office joke: Jaci and her camera. It’s those darn 365 photos.
So today’s photos are of Val’s Moment.
The initial surprise.
Every surprised person needs a good friend to hold them up.
It was an emotional party as you can see.
I hope and wish the best for Val in her new life. And may she always remember how much she was loved.
