Ma and me were just reflecting on friendship. We are agreed that we are “Besties”
Ma has had the same “Bestie 1” since she was born that’s my auntie Carol who is a great gardener and loves roses.
She is like a sister but not biological just like I’m like a son.
It’s funny with friends that you may not see them for ages and yet you dream of them. They must always stay connected in some special slumber section of your brain.
Last year Ma lost an old Bestie of forty years my Auntie Phyllis went to heaven but almost every day something triggers a memory of her.
Yesterday it was a funny thing. My Auntie Denise a new Bestie of just five years had bought Ma this huge bouquet when she came visiting two weeks ago. It’s still mostly going strong except for the roses.
When they drooped their heads Ma decided she would keep the stalks and try to make rose bush babies with them. They are in a little vase by our kitchen sink.
As she was changing the water in them yesterday it reminded her of Phyllis who always turned roses upside down when they got droopy and dried them and kept them.
She knew right there and then that Phyllis and Carol and Denise were connected by roses and other beautiful things!
