Day 163: Sisters-of-the-heart, the three of us: Goldfinch, Mouse and Crow, each living in a different state. We met first in an on-line forum and even then, recognized something ephemeral connecting us. It took several years before we contrived to meet in person, and only two at a time for the first several visits. Then we managed to pull it all together, Da Finch and Da Mouse flying westward to meet the Crow, thence to wreak mirthful havoc in two states before going our separate ways again, at least for a time.
We share our stories in email and on the phone. We laugh and joke and sing. We help shoulder each other's griefs and miseries, and though we sometimes argue, we love one another as dearly as blood family. Surprises are found frequently in the mailboxes we maintain, particularly around holidays. I received one such treasured box of goodies today. Pirates, a marvelous marble and the best-ever tart grapefruit candy you could ever hope for! Can you tell my sister-of-the-heart Finchy knows my preferences? Thank you!
