Best Friends


My best friend arrives tomorrow.
Leaving rainy, windy California.
Bringing sadness.
Her dear husband gone just a short time.
A few showers and some cloudy days here.
Inclement weather can't stop the warmth between dearest friends.
I will offer comfort.
Tears will be shed.
Cancer will be cursed.
Memories of wonderful times shared over forty plus years.
And then..............brighter moments as we plan ahead.
The future offers hope.
We will celebrate a special man in a very special place.


~ Best friends forever ~

  3. So sorry about your friends loss, glad that you will be with her during this time.

    I'm loving these dolls. Are they yours, or did you find them on google or something?

  4. Oh Mary, give her an extra big hug from me, and tell her how sorry that I am. It is wonderful that you have each other to lean on, and for such a very long time too. A cuppa tea will be a good thing these next few days, and here is a saying from that rolo-dex I have...."Hold to a true friend with both hands."
    Take Care,
