A time to embrace



Okay, so-like, my dh left for Israel, just as my bff and her dh arrived to explore the Pacific NW in the hopes of - hooray! - possibly moving here. And just look at the smooching that went on in my kitchen! This bff, however, has every right to smooch her husband anywhere and anytime she pleases, for she has battled an intense form of  !@%&#$@&!? (can't bring myself to write the c-word) and come out the victor. I have known her since first grade, and I love the way her seriousness, her maturity (I was always the baby, she the elder sister-figure, in our relationship) are suddenly wiped away by the most genuine smile in the world--a soft, warm, playful, childishly vulnerable smile--just when you're least expecting it. Hats off to you, Anna.
