... My friend is moving -
I'm happy for her and her familys new adventure,
but at the same time I will miss her.
Our walks in the neighborhood,
the moments in her garden,
the shared life together:
Ups and downs,
laughter, tears and prayers
- Always with a cup of tea!
At the same time I know,
that we'll keep seing one another -
there will be walks in a her neighborhood.
Life shared is life cherished:
The moments shared are hidden in our hearts.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends
lives in my heart,
I shall say that life is good.

Hi Nina! Oh, I am so sorry that you will be losing a good friend. It is true that friends remain in our hearts, but it hurts too. I hope you will stay in contact.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about flowers blooming and hope...maybe that's why I like them so much?
Peace my friend!

Beautiful, sweet Nina! I know you will miss your friend - it's always so hard to lose a good friend, but true friendships will last even long distance :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
Friends are such a ablessing! Sure you will miss her, but friendships can still be pretty vital even miles apart. It is so much easier today too with all of the communication that is possible.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful edits....It sounds like this is a very special friend and because of that I am sure you both will make the effort to still see each other....And then there's always the computer....
