BTW
Some random thoughts after a conversation with DK.
She was with a group of women she knows and just knew, by the demeanor of one of the women, that she was going through some real trouble. DK said, “I think I should say something -see if there’s anything I can do to help.”
I thought of my own emotional state over the past few years, and those times when I had been doing pretty badly, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from being on this side of the receiving end, I so appreciate and am so grateful to all my friends who have truly been there for me.
Z called almost every night and said: “How are you today?” and then just sat and listened. And my brother, who knew I was having money issues, invited me to a party, plane ticket included.
So, DK, invite her for a cup of coffee. Send a card. It means so much.
