After several years of leaving her own home and traveling to a nearby state to provide support — and then care — for her centenarian father, he had recently passed and now now she was executor of his estate.
She writes: “I had just opened the day’s mail which brought a flood of medical bills and estate paperwork when the doorbell rang. What a delight to have this beautiful bouquet arrive in that moment from friends in Massachusetts! Life has its pleasant surprises, often perfectly timed.”
Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin. (Proverbs 18:24)
