I've been spending a lot of time with friends lately. Our community suffered a great loss recently of a dear friend, mother, wife and woman. I caught word of Kathy at work on Monday morning and immediately booked a ticket home to spend time with friends and family. First off, I don't want to skip the opportunity to write about how special she was. She was sweet, kind and was always concerned about others. Once during a storm that left my family stranded in an electricity free home for about a week, she packed a cooler full of goodies which included a variety of beer packed special just for my stepdad. Another fun fact: Kathy was the first person to ever buy a photograph from me (while I was in H.S.), name it and hang it proudly in her home. Brave soul she was, taking a chance on a young artist like me.
This leads me to my time spent at home. Under the circumstances, my time with my friends was sweet as usual. It never disappoints. We laughed over chocolate cake, shared deep and encouraging words and thoughts, took long strolls on gravel paths, talked about our plans, and slept like 3 peas in a pod with windows open and crickets chirping while the summer air filled the room.
These women love me well.
