It is really important to keep in touch with friends. Maybe I need this tattooed on my forehead. But also, luckily for me, I have friends that can help. They help by making sure we stay in touch. It may be one of the tricky things with being a teacher or a mom, that life is consumed already with other people. I have no scarcity of people in my life! And wonderful people, too. People with whom I feel a great deal of love. But those are not relationships that will necessarily last forever. It'd be great if they did, but that is not a part of our mutual understanding. I would not hold them to that. And maybe it's a part of a mother's sadness that the people with whom she has been so close, served so diligently, she also cannot hold to her forever. How many mothers I see, whose children fight them and abuse them, and how different it is when dad is there. Mothers are wonderful beings.
There was an article in my favorite local paper, about how friends can save your life. It then broke for the last few paragraphs and the author wrote about how much she disliked Amazon Prime. I really agree with her, friendship is necessary. And that Amazon Prime is evil. And that mothers are wonderful beings. Thank you Marcia, for letting love be more important than staying on topic.
