Friends

There are many definitions of the word friends – but the one thing about friends that I know for sure is that they don’t let you get away with anything and they love you no matter what. Friends also are always there for you and will drop what they are doing and will come running to be with you when you need them. They are also the best medicine one could ask for.

Well that is what I have been doing these last few days – spending time with two dear friends from college that know me so well, and love me no matter what. After this tough week our planned beach weekend couldn’t have been timed any better. We are laughing, telling old stories from college, sharing stories of our lives today and soaking up some wonderful vitamin D!

We have also done some retail therapy that is always good for the soul. Lucy and Chan have spent this weekend spoiling me and taking such good care of me. They haven’t let me lift a finger and have spent time just making sure I am fed and comfortable. These two beautiful women have known me for almost 40 years and throughout that time we have been there for each other no matter what. Their grown children have also been part of the joyous time we have had together along with their wonderful husband’s who have shared in this joyful friendship of ours.

If you have friends like this in your life send them a text, or call them and tell them how much you love them. Better yet if you can make plans to see them and fill your heart with love that no one can’t take away from you ever then do that! Love you my sweet friends, this has been a wonderful weekend that I will cherish always.

PS Cancer perk is the weight loss that might be too much but enough to publicly share a picture of me in a bathing suit that isn’t so bad! Trust me I would never have done that before – never!
