Four Friends

Four friends. Four separate people from diverse backgrounds. Three of them nurses. One a writer.

Three of them have always lived near each other, the last one often not so near. But the others came up and swam in her pool, weeded her garden and occasionally slept in her bed when she was gone on vacation!

Four friends who have cleaned each others houses, driven each other to pick up new puppies in far away places, gone shopping in hats only Hedda Hopper might wear and sweat-ed together in saunas.

One of them moved to North Carolina and the other three came out once a year to eat and visit, hike and shop and in between all that they washed her windows!

Four friends and the last one was always sickly, but now the strongest one is and it is time to sit in her hot tub, play with her puppy, and make her laugh until the laughter just bubbles up inside her and lifts her up into the healing light of love that four positive friends can create for each other.
