Friendship Moments: good or bad
Hopalong:
On an inexplicable impulse, called my retired friends in NC. (The couple who lost their son and got the call when we were together one day.) Best humans ever.
He answered and told me she died Monday. I'd known she'd been ill, but there it is.
Very sad but sweet and deep-friendship conversation. I feel grateful I had the impulse. Will go visit him in fall I think. Stay with his daughter or their retirement place's guest room.
He's a brave and soulful person and will manage his grief. Still, hard to see their union of I think nearly 60 years end.

Awww,, Hops..... I know it's sad, but they had 60 years together and that's amazing to me.
I hope you do visit and it's a comfort to all 3 of you.
Where in NC do they live? Not specifically, of course.

Hopalong:
Not too far from Charlotte.
He's a dear man who has drawn in many new friends after just two years there.
I think he'll be okay but it'll be hard. He has an implanted pain pump but suffers quite a lot from back issues.
To me the unusual impulse to call was...one of those things.
hugs

Sounds like you have some travel plans to put in place, Hops.

Hopalong:
Hopefully I'll feel up to it by fall.
Just don't, for now.
