Saying good-bye to my friends, whom I meet up with most weekends, last night was tough. Everyone was sad that I was going to be gone in AZ for a lengthy stay, thus missing the opportunity to see him or her. We spoke of how three from our group died last week, recognizing the importance of our taking advantage of spending time with those we cherish—while we can.
Last night’s gathering was a celebration of all the fun we’ve had together, and my friends were determined to fill up my fond memory tanks in the process. As one friend said, “To carry you through in your absence.
As I write this, I think of the fun that was had last night, how cherished and appreciated I felt and how utterly touched I am by my good fortune to have such devoted friends.
Indeed, my fond memory tanks are filled to the brim, causing me to smile, and although I will greatly miss our weekly gatherings, I know it won’t be forever—though it might seem such. It helps to know that my friends grant me full support of why I must go and have sent me off with good positive thoughts, also to carry me through.
Don’t know what I’d do without these friends who have so deeply touched my life and become infused into who I am that I can barely recall my life before meeting each of them.
Friends, they’re the icing on the cake!
