FRIENDS in Postcards 4

Pat was best friends with Captain Poolie. Talking with Pat today, all she can talk about is Poolie. Poolie died four years ago. Yes, she made everything more; she was that kind of lady. But I don’t fill my days with Poolie thoughts. I have all sorts of friends I miss from Seedies in Alaska to MarionB in Claremont.

What I do think about is a new great-grandson, a granddaughter with breast cancer, a child doing wonderful things with the handicapped. I told my oncologist that I was aiming for 85 years old. That seems reasonable to me. Mother and grandma died at 85, so can I. In the meantime, I pray for that granddaughter.
