LIFE GOES ON

Today is Thursday...weeks go by fast! Yesterday I spent a couple of hours with one of my best friends, Aileen...she just happens to be 90. When I am 90 I want to be just like her...active, good looking, funny, still driving, positive, spiritual, and the list just goes on. We love each other because we can say absolutely what we want and the other doesn't judge nor tell everyone. This is great friendship. The element of trust is key. Recently Aileen lost her husband of almost 25 years. Reed was an exceptional person. Pilot in WWII, dentist by trade and exceptional man by life. He wasn't pretentious. We would sit on their patio with our sodas and talk for hours. It felt good to slow down and just share some life experiences whether it be about family or accomplishments or failures. We had some great laughs and great cry's on that patio. Those talks with the 4 of us will be missed. Through them we have met some outstanding people. Aileen and Reed just have a habit of rubbing off on everyone. So my visit with her last night was all over the board...she always makes me feel like the most important person in the world!!
