Another lunch, another farewell. This time it was my friend G. We met in Florida in 1997 when her husband was the Commanding Officer of the ship Vic served on. I was an officer in the Family Support Group so we interacted frequently and we discovered a mutual interest in history, British literature, television, and England in general, tea, and travel. Over the years, we've met up when both her husband and Vic happened to be stationed in Virginia, and we kept in touch with Christmas cards before the advent of social media. Now we have Facebook to keep us connected.
It was a lovely lunch. It had been some time since our last one so we had lots of catching up to do on books read and TV shows watched. I filled her in on Sophia and she gave me an update on her son and his wife as they are to be parents very soon. We decided that she should be GiGi to her granddaughter.
No photo because about the time I thought to take a selfie, we were pretty emotional and emotional faces don't make the best photos!
Another piece of my heart left in Virginia.
It's hard to say goodbye, but what a blessing to live in the age of Skype, Facetime, Video calls, etc. They turn "goodbye" into "see you later"!
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed to have made a great friend. Good-byes are never easy, but I hope your friendship endures.
