The request is "Your Best Friends" Another easy one - 1st and most important will be my husband. He is my rock. I don't always discuss everything with him and he doesn't know my feelings on EVERYTHING ( sometimes he's a sensitive bugger) but all the important stuff....he's number 1.
Then there's the children....there is a difference between daughters and sons. The sons are more protective and not interested in the shopping and lunches, however, if you need something "manly" done , they are the ones to call.
Daughters are a different story - they are my daily callers. I hear from at least one of them every day. Boys I hear from not so much. I was blessed with 3 of each so it's even. However, the girls are always ready for a FaceTime call, gossip session, laughter and bitch session. When we are together, it's always shopping or eating or just sitting outside discussing life.
Other Things
I have a friend that I met a the car wash last year. We sat and talked long after our cars were finished and I thought she was leaving when I noticed she drove back up. She walked over and asked if I would like to exchange info and meet for lunch one day...that started a year of texting and lunches and laughing. She texted me a couple of weeks ago to talk about a dr. visit she had for a routine exam. Her heart was irregular and they wanted more testing. Long story short, they scheduled her for a valve replacement last Monday. She kept telling me how scared she was and had a bad feeling about this. We kept praying and I kept trying to reassure her that she was tough. Monday came and went and I was giving her time to get back to herself before I called her. Her daughters were with her and I was sure she was enjoying their company. Friday afternoon, I got a call from her husband apologizing that he hadn't called sooner, but things had just piled on him and this was the first chance he had. Gail did not make it through her surgery. Drs told him that her heart was too far gone and they couldn't even get the stitches to hold for the new valve. My heart was broken. She had a feeling that this wouldn't go well. Goodbye my "carwash friend". I'm glad God put you in my life for the short time he did.
Other happenings for the weekend were - Emily and Cody came up for the weekend. We finally had kids (Jake and Emily) together for a birthday dinner. We added Cody to the mix too because his birthday was just a couple of weeks ago too. We had a good time - out to a Brazilian steakhouse then back home to play games. Cody watched the Masters and Jim did Emily's taxes. We all tried to coax Cody into conversation and he would answer any question you asked, but definitely not a chatterbox. We will get him out of his shyness before long. You have to be tough and speak your mind in this family😄
