Today I had lunch with my sweet Momma and her friend "M", and a wee while later who showed up by my Sis! So today's blog could be called ladies who lunch, but really it's about friendship.
You see, after my Dad passed away, my Mom was lonely. While she was undergoing some message therapy she found out that the massage therapist was running yoga classes in the neighbourhood. Mom signed up, one thing led to another and first thing you know, she joined the local gym. It was at this gym that she met the delightful "M".
They hit it off right away. They signed up for yoga classes together and met at the gym--together, followed at first by a coffee, then lunch, then early morning and evening telephone calls to check in with each other. My sis and I have always called "M" our angel sent at just the right time in mom's life.
I took a few pictures but the shot I missed, 'cause you know with me there is always at least one(!), was when they went up to order their lunch while I watched purses. They had their arms around each other. So very touching, so much so that it made me want to weep.
Ms. "M" didn't want her picture taken! She must have heard about my skills, er, lack-there-of!
My sweet Momma giving me a wave
The two dears have slowed done a bit since they were hitting the gym, but their friendship is stronger than ever. It's really wonderful to watch them together and even nicer to be in their company as they chatted away like two school girls.
I hope you and me too for that matter, find friendships flourishing.
Happy Thursday.
