When longtime friends who haven't met yet get together IRL for the first time, the stories fly. They race across the table, collide in mid word, then burst like fireworks on high, each spark racing into another tale, then another, and yet another, until a web of magic floats over all, right there in McDonald's.
What joy!
What amazement!
What sheer, unfettered delight!
And, yes what love...
We loved meeting you, Cathy and Keith!
We knew it would be a great event, all those years of building friendship over the miles that separated us could not have been wrong about us all. We were sure to like each other.
However, it turned out it was so much more than we could possibly have anticipated. Ohio turns out the most wonderful people.
I hope you pass this way again and thank you for taking time out of your journey to share an hour of sparkling stories and heartfelt smiles. I am so glad you liked our river.
Hugs to you both. ( How nice it was to share real ones, and so very heartfelt.)
