My Friend Sue
by Lisa McKeown

I have known Sue for 17 years. We were neighbors in Bohemia for several years. Sue is such an important part of my life. Since she has lived in Islip, we don't see each other very much, but when we get together we pick up right where we have left off. Sue is such a good friend of my mine in so many ways, that she is considered part of my family.
I have learned so much from Sue about being brave, being supportive, being comforting...and the list goes on and on! Sue and I ran together for a short time, early in the morning, right after my third child. We had such a good time together, that I consider those days as most of my favorites!!
She encouraged me often, especially in my running. We ran a few races together, which is something that I still share with people, since I am proud of this accomplishment. I have to thank my good friend Sue for this! I would never have thought in a thousand years that I could run in a race, but she proved me wrong!
I love you, Sue!
