Spending time with a friend is a precious gift, and I was given that gift today. Celebrating her birthday two months after the day didn't matter - or at least the fact that the celebration was so late didn't. JS is a friend from my teaching days, and I am fortunate to continue to have her as part of my life.
We had lunch, went to the bookstore, buzzed through some other shops, and made our final stop at our favorite coffee shop. And the entire time we talked and laughed and let companionable silences fall. What could be better?
Happy belated birthday to you, JS, and thank you for the gift of your friendship.
yup -- nothing better than a friend !!! I say that from experience!
