• Special Visitor

  My best friend, Lobat, stayed with us over the last few days.

  • Watched the entire first season of True Blood.
  • Ate some homemade cheesecake (thanks to hubby)!
  • Gave one another some card readings.
  • Shopped in Old Town.
  • Chased each other around the house.
  • Harassed the cats.
  • Cried.
  • Laughed.
  • Hung out on the back patio under the giant tree.
  • Played with my daughter (her goddaughter).

  There are people in your life that just fit.  They always fit.  Even if they are miles away (she lives in Saudi,) they are never really that far.  Seeing her again was like no time had passed between us.  It was comfortable, peaceful, tranquil.  It reminds me why she and I became best friends back in the 4th grade.  We're a kindred match.

  She brought gifts for me (a Saudi scarf) and for my daughter she bought an East Indian outfit that she found in a village near Nasik.  She was so loving and warm and giving to my daughter.  She hugged her, talked to her, laughed with her.  It warmed my heart.

  I already miss her.  She left earlier today.  I cried my eyes out. 

  Miss you and love you, my Persian soul-sister.

  THEN (5th grade)
