Drained

My physical energies are gone
As I battle my grandson’s head cold
Easily given to me as we interacted
During our last visit at Eastertime
How much for granted we take
Our physical health till it’s gone
If only briefly, leaving us depleted,
Drained, down and definitely out

Unfortunately, my head cold
Came at exactly the wrong time
When our long awaited guests
From Sweden were visiting us
It was difficult to be a cheery hostess
When you can’t breathe through your nose
And your head is aching and your hands
Full of tissues to stop the dripping nose

But I did my part and I passed on
The nasty cold virus to those about me
So now they can be sympathetic
As they battle the same symptoms I had
I am getting to feel better each day
Too bad germs have to be so friendly
And can’t be scheduled for more convenient
Times to pay an unexpected visit..achoo!

My Swedish Friend

Here is my best friend Gittan from Sweden who I only get to see every few years but we have been friends about 28 years. We met as pen pals then in person in Sweden and felt like we have know each other forever. That has happened for me with several friends throughout the years. Kind of a de-ja-vu experience, like we knew each other before and were just continuing our friendship. Today in the age of computers we can email and talk on skype instantaneously while in the past I would mail a letter by snail mail and 10 days later, she would get it. Then she would write back and 10 days later, I would get her answer. Our news was very old but at least it kept us connected in the good old days. BFF! Best friends forever!
