Today, I sat next to my friend at a high school baseball game. Two games, in fact. Denise has been my friend for over twenty years. We met when her oldest son Ivan and my son Jacob played flag football at the age of five. Then, six. And tackle at 7. Denise's husband was the coach, and my husband helped. We all became good friends.
I don't get to see Denise very often. Both our sons are almost 30 years old now. Today though, I sat down next to her, and it was as if no time had passed since our last encounter. It was as if we had just seen each other yesterday. We picked up right where we left off. It's one of the things I love about Denise. She is open and easy to talk with. She's genuine.
Initially, my husband and I were at the baseball game to see Denise's youngest son pitch, even though he pitched yesterday. So truly, we were there to see Denise, to catch up with each other, to spend time with a good friend, to keep her company, and to enjoy a day in the sun.
Today was a wonderful day! It was spent with a true friend doing what we all love!
