Today’s post reflects my reply to a younger woman, the daughter of a dear friend. Though I’d not heard from Rachel for quite a while, she received my heartfelt reassurance that apologies were unnecessary.
No worries, Rachel—I understand the nature of forever friendships, which truly describes our love for each other though we may remain out of touch for long periods of time. As you’d hoped, I am feeling a little better, every day.
In fact, yesterday, I enjoyed my first walk outside with Will—without my walker—meaning that this was the first time since my last surgery in July that I’d placed my trust in not needing to sit on the seat of the walker to catch my breath—and as we’d enjoyed our walk without my feeling need to sit down, yesterday marked my awareness of a significant improvement in my ability to breathe while walking. On the other hand, it’s true that walking while talking remains beyond my current capacity if I hope to inhale and exhale with ease.🙂.
Feel my warmest hugs, Rachel, just as I’ve always enjoyed yours, beginning when you were one of my very favorite little girls, whose big brown eyes, looking up at me, shone with love so naturally that I had felt, even then, that we were meant to be forever friends.
With hopes that you and your family are well …
I love you, Rachel!
And happy birthday, today, to your mom, my dear friend, Jill🙋🏻♀️❤️🎂
🙋🏻♀️❤️😘Annie
