If you love Curb Your Enthusiasm you are going to be so jealous of me. I just received the BEST stuff in the mail today from my dear buddy Amy who had the nerve to get out of expensive California and move back to Virginia where all her family is. She has been such a wonderful friend for the past 5 years and you know how when you get older it gets harder and harder to forge those friendships that are meaningful and lasting. She moved back to Virginia after living in the Bay Area for eleven years. I spent endless hours practicing my photography on her daughter and she really understood me. When she moved away I was heartbroken–then my dog passes away—it’s been one hell of an Autumn. In fact, she’s the kind of friend that was going to forsake Thanksgiving with her own family to come out and babysit my dog with cancer while I was on my family vacation! What kind of friend does that? A best friend I tell you. Unfortunately Riley didn’t want to cost us the $$$$ to fly Amy and her daughter out here to spend a lonely week taking care of him so he gracefully passed before that time (I think that dog had a plan) but I know she would have been here in a heartbeat if I needed her. Check out this wonderful gift she sent me just because. It really made me cry with happiness that someone cared enough to try and knock me out of this funk I have been in for the past month.
