Friendship makes the world go round……….
I am slowly getting back to being my “normal” self, after the somewhat sudden loss of one of my best and almost life long girlfriends. One day we were hanging out and squealing like the college girls we were more than 30 years ago and the next, she was lying in a coma and soon after that, I watched as she lay dying!
According to Wikipedia, one definition of friendship is:
“the cooperative and supportive relationship between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis.”
After three weeks she came out of the coma and although she could not talk, her great writing skills let us communicate and we were definitely expecting to pick up where we left off, on out next Third Saturday get-together.
But, it was not to be. Instead, she left us on Friday, February 19th, the day before our next scheduled 3rd Saturday outing and our next get-together was when I said goodbye publicly at her memorial service.
