A bad punctuation dyslexic ramble ahead.
A friend from grief group and i attended a wedding of a couple we both know and i let her drive the 2013 Mustang Shelby. To explain when i first met my friend in grief group i thought she was my age perhaps mid fifties reason in her visage and her activity level is of much younger woman.
And over these last eleven months she has been great friend she has widowed for eleven years and she is truly a good friend and a fine person who has helped me in over losing Elizabeth.
One day i ran into her and her daughter at the gym with my boys 18 & 19. I assumed her daughter then was her sister i introduced my fellas and she said this is my oldest daughter who is fifty turns out she is seventy years in age.
So I made her day yesterday in that over these last months we both have shared a lot with each other stories thoughts memories of our spouses. And she had told me that when her husband came home from Vietnam. The first car they bought was a Mustang Mach 1 i mentioned I have had two mustangs over the years and she said oh Id love to drive it.
So yesterday I picked her up in route to the wedding and told the five foot hobbit youre driving the Shelby. She was surprised and she drove one and half hours each way to and from. And i sat and listened to her repeat the same memories of her husband when they were young and first married and it made me feel great inside to see her so energetic and happy.
And yesterday is I realized the first time in these last eleven months that i have actually socialized with others besides family and work since losing Liz God I miss her no drama just facts and reality. She is in another realm yet I still love her so much.
