Just sitting at home when a call comes in. “Need Diet Coke and fries? I am going to swing over for a few minutes.” She gets me. It is Cindy, she lives close by but our lives can get busy. She is my best friend for over a million years, through a million tears and a million moments of laughter.
Her timing is impeccable, she knows me better than anyone else. We know each other’s ins and outs and always without judgment… with only love and support. I wasn’t doing anything, but watching “Good Girls” on Netflix and still organizing my photos. The fireplace was on and the dogs were snuggled up near me. I told her I would leave the front door open and she should walk right in. It's funny how you are content in the moment of your quiet home, not needing a thing at all. I didn’t know, but she somehow knew that I could use some company. Not for any reason in particular, just because. Just because is usually the best reason for a visit. We talk about everything and yet nothing at the same time. She only had a few minutes, but those few minutes spanned into a few hours. Her timing was perfect. After she left, I knew it was what I needed. I just needed some time with my best friend.

I love this! And I love that you have someone who knows what you need because you are so good at knowing what others need!

I am so happy that someone knows you as well as you know others, including me! A diet coke and fries sounds like the perfect snack while catching up with a lifelong friend!
