Friendship and Lilacs

Friday morning, April 9th at 9:36 a text from Buffy reads “Left a note for you and Brandon(my son) on the front porch….didn’t want to wake you ”. Here I go rushing outside in my jammies and find sitting on my porch is a card for me and one for Brandon. There is also a Mason Jar filled with the most beautiful Lilacs and a simple ribbon tied in a bow. My first thought is..” Dang it!! Im gonna kick her butt for making me cry” and in that same second Im thinking….”I love her and Im so lucky to have her as a friend”.

I had a really tiring week last this past week. I had to work overtime everyday and was wore out by the time Friday rolled around. Plus, I was worried about my mom, she’s been sick for 2 weeks and they had just admitted her to the hospital. How in the world did Buffy know I needed a pick me up??? I can tell you that it sure made my day. Buffy’s hand written note and cuttings from her own Lilac bush touched my heart more than she will ever know. In this crazy busy world we live in today, we have lost what it means to slow down and think of others. To take the time to hand write a note or cut some flowers for someone to bring a smile to their face. I know I am guilty of it.

So, as I sit here typing this blog, the smell of lilacs are filling my room and making my day even more brighter. Here’s wishing that you all have a BUFFY in your life, as I TREASURE the one I have. Now, if I could only talk her into doing her own blog! She has an amazing gift at writing and telling stories…..
