Well, we can have re-fried bean, twice baked squash, so why can't we have re-baked kookies?
After some time of non communication, I thought I had lost a very true and wonderful friend. There wasn't an argument or disagreement, it appeared to me we had just drifted in different ways. Then a few weeks ago I heard from her via email. She needed some help in working with a bank and with legal papers to save her home. I told her I knew nothing of what she was talking about and felt there was no real way I could help her. She asked me again, explaining more of what was going on with her situation: I still felt I couldn't help her at all. Then there was nothing. I felt she had decided I was of no use to her anymore if I couldn't help her in this area, and we really had nothing left for each other.
Last week, out of no where, she emailed me again, just wanting to chat. Being the honest person I am, the "Idealist-healer" as one book states (see my LinkedIn Page for more information on Please Understand Me II), I told her how I felt that we had just drifted apart.
She wrote back immediately, which is quicker than she ever did before, and told me we were never going to not be friends. She told me she depended on me and my honesty and she had no friend like me. We then arranged for lunch for the upcoming Wednesday.
We had a wonderful lunch. We talked of all we had been going through, our lives, our lives with others, and just talked until she almost missed the time to pick up her kids. It was wonderful! I needed this more than she will ever know, and I hope I did her some good as well.
Her friendship throughout the years, and I think we are talking about 25 years now, has been wonderful. We have never argued, we disagree on certain things, but we keep those topics at bay. We respect each other's decisions and beliefs, and love each other for who we are right now, right here. So, her friendship all those many years ago was a karma kookie to me, and today it was re-baked and offered to me again, thus the re-baked karma kookie.
No matter where I end up: France, Texas, or Ireland; or where she ends up, possibly Spain, we will always love and care for one another. The saying is true: There is always someone out there thinking of you right this minute.

Thank you my friend.
