yesterday I looked up and who do I see
but Mom's best friend of 80+ years
Bea!
Mom said she wasn't so surprised
she knew Bea would visit any day now
fortunately Mom was just up from a short nap
ready to chat about their days in high school
Bea talked about a few of Mom's boyfriends...
Mom said one especially she really liked
Bea learned how to organize the wool strips
*****
my NC sister called her earlier this week
to update her on Mom
she has some wonderful memories of my family
I could listen to her stories forever...
she did share one about her son
who is always there to lend her a hand
he said if any time
the doctor tells her she doesn't have long to live
she's to go straight home
to cook up a huge batch of spaghetti sauce!
she can't eat it anymore
but keeps her freezer
and his freezer full...
I've requested some for my freezer...she's an awesome cook
and the most wonderful friend
a person could ask for
