Good Friends

You don't have to see a friend for them to be a good friend.  As we go about our lives doing what we need to do to survive it is nice to know that you have people you can count on.  If I need help to move a heavy piece of furniture I only have to pick up a phone and they will drop what they are doing and come over in a flash.  They are there when you need them, and I am there when they need me.  Then there are good friends whom I may only see once a year, and so it was that Robert (the Reverend) sent me a text message the other day inviting me to lunch

He is prompt and he arrived at my office at 11:45 am precisely .   He wanted to take me out for lunch on my special day .   He gave me a card . . .

Notice the "lunch with friends"

so we ended up at a sushi place up the street

I ordered the two rolls on the left, and he ordered the three rolls on the right.   They came on separate boards, but the idea was that the food was to be shared

I must say that it was very tasty

We talked longer than we should have and I had to get back to work

I am so lucky to be surrounded with good friends who remembered me on my Special Day

I am humbled again . . .     July 9th   one day many years ago and I am happy to be still here
