Postscript to Saturday Mornings....

My last post begs for a postscript so here it is.

Someone asked me at work why I was in a very good mood yesterday. I said because it was a Friday. That was only half true. The other half of it was - it was the Friday before I get to spend one more Saturday morning with Karen - only this time, we had more company.

It was a magical, wonderful, and emotionally enriching breakfast this morning. Four special women in my life - Karen, Kaye, Laurie (http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=412010300863) and Lita made it so. And no, we did not go to McDonald's. We had our hearty and filling breakfast at the Larchmont Bungalow (http://www.larchmontbungalow.com/) and spent hours reminiscing, catching up, laughing, sharing and soaking in each other's company. Karen was the first to arrive, followed by Laurie and as Lita and I were parking, we saw Kaye right behind us. After big hugs, kisses and compliments, we ordered from the really tempting menu items and prayed together before sharing our meal - thanking God for the companionship and the love present in that gathering. We were noisy but people did not seem to mind - who could resist the sound of earnest laughters among women who love each other? I took pictures but I was so stupid that in my excitement to view them, I managed to erase all of them! I don't know if any of the girls took pictures, but mine were gone. Nada. Kaput.

But my stupidity could not dampen the happiness I feel from the memories of this morning. I will make sure we do this again - sooner than later.

On another note, my apologies for making people cry. That was not the intention, although I have to admit that I was, myself, in tears and engulfed in so much emotion as I was writing that last post. I want to especially thank Carlo for calming Karen down as she was bawling her eyes out after reading my blog about her.
