My Dear Friend \u201cBonnie\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Before I get to the end of my story telling, I wish to write a little ditty about my dear friend, named Bonnie here at Woodlands. She is my neighbor, my \u201cwatching over me\u201d my dear friend and my little sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a severe reaction to an antibiotic given to me for cellulitis, which caused me to have terrible hives all over my body. At my age I was not able to cope or battle this as easily and gracefully as when I was in my 60s. I got no sleep for four consecutive nights, was irritated, itchy and angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I felt some better, if I can control myself, keep the heat down in my apartment, things will be some better and I know that the worst is over. So far, it was a good day. It is evening now, and the question is: \u201cWhat to eat?\u201d I really should eat something today, but nothing sounds good right now. Until I got a phone call from my sweet friend Bonnie. \u201cWould you like a grilled cheese sandwich\u201d she asked. Oh, that sounded good! \u201cAnd some fresh fruit?\u201d That sounded like a wonderful dinner and to my surprise, I said \u201cYes.\u201d Pretty soon my little sister Bonnie arrived with a freshly grilled cheese sandwich, already cut into sections for easier eating and cut-up mixed fresh fruit. What a lovely gift! What a friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Bonnie asked me if I would like to try a wonderful tomato soup from Trader Joe\u2019s? Again, I heard myself say yes. Pretty soon, while I was enjoying this wonderful warm, grilled cheese sandwich, Bonnie arrived with a container of hot tomato soup. I tried it, it tasted yummy, and I finished it, enjoying every spoon full. I had a wonderful, unexpected, tasty dinner tonight, thanks to a wonderful lady, called Bonnie. I am feeling better, the hives are on their way, and I am feeling so blessed and loved. This friendship I have had with Bonnie is the greatest gift I could wish for at this age of 96. How blessed can one be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Bonnie, for being in my life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
