Friends
Friends are enduring. Being privy to a long-time friend’s life can be quite sad.
I paid a visit to my friend Judy’s home today. They have been in a rental town house since the first of September. Their rural home may either be rented or sold. No decision as yet. Judy is totally blind from Macular. Judy and her husband are the same age as I am . . . 77.
The sad part of my visit was that her husband should go on a hunting expedition and not come home. As I mentioned they moved into the townhouse September 1st. The home was filthy. Every flat surface had dirty dishes on it. Styrofoam cartons on the floor near Wayne’s chair with food remaining. Empty water and pop bottles on the floor. Fruit flies everywhere. Judy’s only daughter has been asked by Judy’s husband to stay away until she can quit telling him what to do. Oh so sad. Judy may not be able to see but she knew she needed to apologize to me for what she knew was about in her home. They knew I was coming, the least Wayne could have done was help Judy to have her shirt right side out.
I got home and gave Dennis a peck on the cheek and a hug. How grateful to come home and have the few dishes that were in the sink, washed and put away. Sweet!
No matter . . . I can still be astonished.
