The Kindness of Friends

Yesterday I wrote in this blog about the weather for Carter’s upcoming wedding, I mentioned I was looking forward a wrap in case I get cold in my dress. In a matter of hours I had ten offers from friends far and wide offering their pashmina and wraps.

Carter’s mother-in-law sent me a photo offering a beautiful blue one and also a Navy. My Friend Sally, a green one, she would mail me. Judy was ready to drive over to my house this morning. Jan and Suzanne offered help. Ellie had a dozen to choose from. Cathy, Betsy and Mary all wanted to see my dress so they could loan me the perfect one. My sister Janet, who has an accessory business, up and mailed 25 wraps to the hotel for not just me, but every woman coming to the wedding.

I am all set now, but really appreciate the giant outpouring of help. What a dear community of friends you are. I didn’t title the blog, “I need a pashmina.” You had to get to the need deep in. I appreciate the fact that you had to drag them out and some took photos and sent them to me.

What I really hope is now that I have this plethora of choices and plenty arriving that they will be totally unneeded and the weather is warm. What I love most are the offers of love. Thank you dear friends.
