Yesterday I went to visit our friend who would come play piano duets with my mom. I don’t think I had seen her since my mom’s funeral, though we talked on the phone a couple times. She asked about going to the cemetery, so we made the trip out there. On the way we stopped and picked up some flowers and a couple things from the grocery store. When we arrived, we fixed up the flowers, got the vases and water, and slowly made our way to my parents’ site. Our friend had recovered from a broken hip a few months ago and I was glad to see she was very careful on the uneven terrain. My parents’ new headstone was beautiful and the grass was placed and grown in, so it looked very nice. We said some prayers and reminisced. It was so nice to spend the time there with her. Afterwards we went to lunch. That was the usual routine – visit, play piano, go to lunch. The place we went even had free ice cream. We remembered that when it was my dad’s turn to pick the lunch place, he would choose the one with the free ice cream. We had our cones in his honor. When I dropped our friend at home, we promised to get together again and stay in touch. It was such a blessing to spend the day with her.
I Found God today spending time with a good family friend.
