Your words revealed the deep close loving friendship that you’ve both had through the years. You certainly made what could have become a very awkward situation one that can be a treasured memory though bittersweet in some respects. She would have the sensory memory of a pleasantness even if the specifics become long forgotten. Losing in one way or another those for whom we care so much is one of the most difficult aspects of aging, I think.

Perhaps you are meant to just remember her in the time of good friendship with her and not in her decline.<br /><br />I remember one friend of mine refusing to see anyone, just waiting to die. Wanting to be remembered in her joy rather than fear. <br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-21210244908989713372018-06-30T21:05:07.667-02:302018-06-30T21:05:07.667-02:30I wish I could have had a similar time with my fri...I wish I could have had a similar time with my friend who just died. She would not let me know that this past year was one of complete mental and physical deterioration. I only learned about it after she died. People told me stories that I could hardly believe. They just didn't jive with the friend I had known for 38 years. You are fortunate to have this time together.dkzodyhttp://dkzody.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-38256154501026662322018-06-30T19:47:27.835-02:302018-06-30T19:47:27.835-02:30Lana's words in your last paragraph were so st...Lana's words in your last paragraph were so strong and so touching. Yes indeed, love does take many shapes and sizes - and can be found in many different circumstances - in the one you so sensitively describe, it's there for sure!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.com
