The Kindness of Friends

Yesterday was a busy day around the'Zoo and I wasn't there for most of it.  Something happened that seems worth sharing.  A few friends came to visit my mother-in-law.  Visitors can be problematic at times.  Dealing with a friend or loved one that is gravely ill brings out different emotions in people.

These ladies were so kind and attentive I was told.  They laughed and told stories of what is going on in their lives and the lives of mother-in-law's circle of friends.  Just as if nothing had changed.

Because to them nothing has changed. Life is happening and they wanted to share it with a dear friend that can't get out to share it any longer.  That is being a blessing.

Your mother-in-law is very blessed to have such caring friends. I have my special ladies. They have shared my life since we were young girls...it comforts me to know they will be with me even at the end.
