And what an extraordinary response we have had!
For within a nanosecond Mrs.Darcy, aka Diane her lovely but sadly seldom seen American friend who lives in Texas, commented on my Blog and then wrote an email.. contents private. Then Karen, who is also an American, wrote a short but caring sweet email.. From her family.. zilch.
You'd think that the mere thought of her being 'unwell', which she isn't, is highly contagious by email or telephone. For from another 'friend' of many decades.. also zilch.. she 'smiles' to herself as she remembers listening to various tales of woe and giving them practical and useful advice about PALS ~ this stands for Patient Advice Liaison Services for those of you fortunate enough never to have had any reason to use this hospital facility.
What is it with some people? Do they reckon friends are only for the 'good times of Rock 'n Roll? That the street of friendship is only one way.. who the hell knows but..
Thank God for our friends.. Cousin Bruce, Leigh, Tom (who calls long distance from NYC to chat), Granny Jo, Bob, Patsy far away in California who certainly tells it how it is and BLESS her for doing so, Streatham Susan, Myra, Debbie Goaty Mum, Michelle and Peter, recently returned from Kenya and her newer friends, MaryLou, Pegeen and Rosamund who share both THEIR ups and downs with us and support their friends.
Having a family who only contact you when they want something is 'quite' tough to deal with, she once said Gabi "Do you know the true meaning of loneliness? It is loving to no avail", Gabi looked quite stunned.
For, oh Lordy, she has tried all her life with her two brothers but she has now given up. For this year on June 19th it will be four years since she last spoke with the one who lives in Suffolk (she thinks) and thirteen years since she spoke with her eldest brother who caused their mother to die of a broken heart.
But enough of all that. Now she is off to meet Debbie Goaty (the) Mum, of lots of newly born, very cute kiddley-diddleys, I've scoffed an egg 'n toast and will snooze until her return.
Thank God for friends with whom she can laugh and cry, bless you all for you are Treasures indeed and she considers that we are VERY fortunate to have you in our life.
GeeGee Parrot.

Yes, we think SHE has a passle of WONDERFUL FRIENDS. It seems SHE has gotten her morale back up to par.
ReplyDeleteBonsoir Madame Darcy.. Yes, you are right on the nail, she's back 'playing off Scratch' and all of you Dear Readers who don't know what Scratch signifies.. it means she is playing of a Zero handicap.My mama is as soft as silk or as hard as rock, it just depends on how she's treated.
ReplyDeleteAnd you take a big hug Miz Joanna, for you surely are a lovely and very loving friend.
