Busy Afternoon but the sun finally made an appearance

Good Evening myLotters! the day just got busy and this afternoon I had a marathon phone call with one of my closest friends. Her husband has been going through some serious health issues for awhile now so her time is limited to chat. Today he was having some sort of procedure done and she needed to vent while she waited. She's the closest I have to a sister. We've been friends for too many years to count, our kids went to school together, we've vacationed together and our kids were even in each others weddings. As the years have passed we've both moved to be closer to our kids and grandkids but no long within visiting distance of each other. I do miss her and hopefully one of these days our plans for a get-together will happen. Cell phones can be a nuisance but on a day like today it was nice that she was able to spend the time with me (via phone) and it was "almost" like a real visit. I added her husband (and her) to my prayer list and hope he has a speedy recovery. I just made myself a cup of decaf coffee and decided to pop on here and say hi. I just never got around to doing a morning post. Hope everyone had a good day

The day was OK, and I hope your friend's hubby is too. Maybe when he is out of the woods, you can plan a visit for real..even meeting for a meal halfway might be good.

We've been planning on a visit but something always comes up for us to postpone it. Hopefully this summer we can actually do a "real" in person visit unless the price of gas is too high to even consider it.

It’s always good to see you pop in. I’m so glad you could be there for your friend. She probably feels so good having gotten all that off her chest.

Yes she did feel good. I was happy to listen even though I couldn't do more to help with her stress and worry.

I can really sense how much you miss her. I do hope you'll meet and spend time together again very soon.

I have a dear friend like that also. I've never had a sister, but she did. She lost her sister to cancer, and she has told me, even before her sister passed, that I felt like a sister to her. What kind words. The sun is shining here now, I am not sure if it was earlier, I was lazer focused on my work today, and actually almost worked through both of my coffee breaks as well as my lunch. Shocking-I know.

We're truly blessed to have a friend that is close enough to consider a sister. Wow your day must have been very busy to almost miss your coffee breaks & liunch.

Sounds like that, but I'm sure that phone call helped. I hope her husband recovers if he is able.

Your friend would have been glad of the chance to catch up with you. Good friends are to be cherished.
