Mollies with Mary

     The title should be a sitcom.  Then again, Mary should have a reality show.  She never fails to entertain me.  From the way she orders food to the colorful way that she tells a story I am usually the one cracking up.  Breakfast took a serious turn as I realized she was leaving soon after.  There was plenty to talk about and even more to ponder.  You know how when you are about to head out on vacation you are just beaming with excitement?  It is all in front of you.  Lots of time and lots to do.  Then there is the anticlimactic last day as you are packing up your stuff and heading back....well that's what it feels like when Mary is leaving.  I have always adored her.  She has brought me years of laughter and life lessons and wisdom.  Now she is more.  She is the dearest friend and an adopted mother as well.  We share so many of the same values and opinions.  So as I sat there thinking of her departure I grew sad.  Shoot, now we even compare WW points together...just one more way to give each other support.  I had a wonderful weekend with Mary.  I am lucky to get her because she is always in great demand.  I will try to be strong this weekend without her and wish her the best time ever...because Mary is one woman who deserves only the best!!!
