kittenmmm's blog post - Friends

I was writing up report sheets for my old job this morning. I came to realize how very well I know these people. I suppose that happens after spending three years with them but I never really thought about it until I had to write things out. Like how MB likes subs from Amato in Maine because of the oil or how MM likes sweet and low in her spaghetti sauce and her pasta can't be cooked aldente or how her skin is sensitive so I use a cap and a half of softener in the wash.

We may have started out as clients and workers but we became very good friends. These women have seen me go through hard times and good times, they've shared their lives with me and showed me they cared in so many little ways. I've developed habits of making sure little things were taken care of for them. It wasn't just about cleaning their house or getting their groceries, it was listening to them and taking their dog out so they could rest or just being there to hold their hand when one of their pets died.

I may not see them every week now but I'll always have that time we shared. It's a bit similar here. I have so many dear sweet friends who have seen me through so many changes, both good and bad. I like to think that I've done the same for many of them. I'm not around as much anymore because of work and the fact that the good weather is starting (which means work around the farm) but...I still think of you everyday and all the time we've had so far.

Hopefully I'll have a bit more time now that I'm not working the two outside jobs. I need to catch up on blogs and make sure everyone is ok. Just know that I am thinking of you and that I care about you.
