BFF

Mom and Jan have been friends for a long time. When Jan's kids took her car away, Mom would take Jan for her Friday hair appointments. (I wonder if Jan ever told her kids that an 89 year old friend was driving her around?) When it got harder for Jan to get around, we took her to a couple of movies. One kid was assigned to escort Grandma and one kid was assigned to escort Ms. Jan. They learned the joys of sitting on the top row.

Now Jan is in an assisted living home. Karis took Mom to see her on Friday. Karis texted me a few highlights during thier visit. I don't know if Jan has always had such a way with words, but her perspective sure is funny.

Mom and Jan discussed how all their possessions are labeled with the name of one of their kids.

Mom: It's amazing the pleasure you can get out of their enjoyment of your things.

Jan: That is so true! They are so happy taking my things.

Mom was telling Jan that she is losing strength. Jan assured her, "It happens in the worst of families."

Then they enjoyed "happy hour", which involved pie.

Ah, friends!
