I have such amazing friends. My girlfriend invited me over to her house this past weekend for a belated birthday dinner. She made homemade chicken pot pie and for desert homemade apple pie. Two of my favorite comfort foods.
My mom, may she rest in peace, was a fabulous baker/cook and every birthday she’d ask me what I wanted for my birthday dinner. For the most part I’d tell her to make whatever, but I always asked for apple pie for my birthday “cake”. I have to tell you, this apple pie that my girlfriend made tasted close to the apple pies my mom would make me for my birthday dinner. Such wonderful memories of my mom and great new memories with one of my best girlfriends. I really felt pampered and taken care of.
We’ve been friends for over 20 years. Our children are close in age, we’ve been through divorce together, death of both of our parents together, being downsized at our jobs together and eventually back to working together at the same company again. Friendship like this is hard to find now-a-days and I am eternally grateful and thankful for this woman in my life. She is my sister from another mister and I love her.
Thank the Universe and the good Lord for a friendship like this. I love you, my friend.
