Another happy, sad time...

 

Today, I go to a funeral of a  friend...a co-worker of 15 years.

 

Yesterday I got to see another friend, who goes back

43 years, when we first got pregnant with what we

thought would be the last child for each of us. It was for

me, and she had one more.

 

So much has happen in those 43 years. Great deal of

happiness and sadness. Both of us remarried. She has

gone on to a foreign country, to find a wonderful French

man, who has made her life the happiness she has ever

been.

 

And every year, my friend returns to the states to see her

children and her growing family, of grandchildren and now

great grandchildren.  Sisters and brothers.  She with her husband has traveled across Europe.

 

Who would have thought, over 42 years ago, as we sat in a small

restaurant in the little town of Cle Elum. Both of us pregnant

and for entertainment, we would go down for coffee around

midnight to people watch as the bar crowd stumbled out to

find coffee to get them home. Didn't take much to entertain us.

lol...

 

Safe trip back home, my friend Pat... God Bless until we meet

again.
