Dave and I have moved many times during our marriage.....following career opportunities in order for him to support our family. We've found nice people and good friends no matter where our house happened to be located. But the flip side was we left many good friends behind as we packed up to move to another city.
When we arrived in Milwaukee in 2002 we started again. And, again, made new friends. Two of my friends "found" me while I was working for hospice......they were two of "my" volunteers. Then they joined my book club and our connections grew.
We don't see each other often, but when we do....it is such fun! We say we meet for lunch every month or so for laughter therapy. And laugh we do! But we also talk.....about books, current affairs, politics, families, health adventures, travel.
Frankly it is a connection and a friendship that I treasure. I need my women friends to complete my life. And these two special women are, to me, important pieces in my "puzzle".
So here's a toast to the ladies who meet for lunch......looking forward already to my next therapy session!
