It is not
Valentines' Day yet, but I received flowers and a lovely Valentines' goody bag
today -- from one of my dearest mom friends.
My friend and
I check in nearly every afternoon to see when each of us will arrive at school, so that we
can coordinate pick-ups. With at least two
pick-ups each and school traffic as gnarly as it is, our being each other's
back up comes in very handy. Today, she
asked me if I could keep one of her daughters after school, so that she could accompany
her other daughter to an activity. It
was no trouble at all. I was simply
putting one more child in my car and her daughter happens to be a wonderful
little girl. And my children love
playing with her -- an added bonus.
When I
arrived at my friend's house with her daughter in the evening, I commented on a
beautiful vase of flowers she had by the door.
"Those are for you!" she said.
And there was a goody bag with several treats for me, including a hand
lotion that I had mentioned liking and chocolate, and a very sweet card.
My friend is
very thoughtful. She remembers the
smallest details -- like my commenting on how wonderfully a hand lotion smells. And she is very kind to her friends. I feel blessed to have her friendship and
appreciate her Valentines' kindness.
