Decades ago
when we were single, my steadfast friend and I were constant companions. Whether it was going out to eat, the movies
or just running errands, it never took much to get her out of the house. She was -- and is -- one of the most
easygoing people I know. But life gets complicated and we are no longer those
completely carefree young women. But every so often... I recently called her on my way to the mall
for a last bit of Christmas shopping. I
asked her if she wanted to -- and could -- come. To my delight, she said yes and so we spent
the next few hours together. I was
reminded again of the preciousness of time and grateful that she spent those
hours with me -- it was the perfect Christmas gift.
