The colorful tin Blessed Mother of Guadalupe shown in this post brings back memories of another time and place.
A former dear friend gifted her to me many years ago.
So much time has passed since we were friends. Sadly, I lost contact of that dear soul of a friend when she moved to Mexico and our family moved back to the east from the southwest.
Now I live thousands of miles away but never lost track of the special Blessed Mother of Guadalupe.
She traveled home with us from the southwest.
I see her daily on the wall above the kitchen sink!
It makes me think of my friend, Helen, and hold her close to my heart.
HAVE YOU LOST SOME FRIENDS ALONG LIFE'S PATH?
Very nice remembrance of your friend who moved to Mexico. I had a dear friend pass a few years ago and her daughter always sends me something around this time of year. . I got a lovely bouquet of flowers just the other day with a note telling me she thinks of me and all the fun times I had with her Mother. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Lady of Guadalupe statue in the front of our church. I visit it sometimes. That's too bad that you lost touch with your friend. Yes, we do lose some friendships from the past, but we make new ones. And looking back, some of the best friends I ever knew were from grade school. ; ) Have a wonderful November week, Susan.
