An old friend caught on, I guess. Had been bugging me for years to ask. A hard thing to do.
So this week she just started showing up, day after day, before work,
texting me that she was around the corner.
Telling me we could use some help here.
Quietly cleaning, while I rest.
Talking for a tiny bit, cuddling the pup, then on her way.
I guess that's how it works best.
Just sliding into the life of a friend.
What a lesson, in graceful acceptance.
