Friends



This past weekend I spent in Andover Mass. with two friends from grammar school and a friend from high school. We were Girl Scouts together. We had all become close in high school and remained so through our young adulthood, parenting, and now. There are others in this group that live too far away, but you are still with us.

We have been through a lot of shit together ... this is not the first death of a child. We eat, we talk, we laugh, we hug. In our fiftieth year, three of us did the Westchester triathlon together. Joseph called these women his aunts, and he loved to spend time with them and to analyze them as if they were his own parents. They are true friends.

Dear Donna, I am so glad you, Sally and Leontine had time together. I think of you often and am planning to visit sometime soon. We have a wedding at the end of June to attend in the Bronx and I am hoping to stay a few extra days before the long weekend to see you all. XXOO You are never far from thought these days.
