Family and friends

The past week was a blur. Furniture shopping, getting pictures framed, planning a dinner for Saturday and my son had fever. But my husband and I managed. The drawing room looked good, the food did not burn and cake was devoured shamelessly (my husband baked it) . The dinner was to celebrate my birthday (15th June) and our wedding anniversary (18th June). But most of all it was to invite friends over. The gap between get togethers is becoming longer and longer. Everyone is busy with work, family, and everything in between.

I remember when Shabbir (My husband) and I were the only ones married in the group and had not become parents yet, we used to just get up and go to our friends place anytime. We would eat, watch movies, talk, play video games all night. But things changed and so did we. Nonetheless it is comforting to know that we might not call each other every week, forget to wish each other on birthdays, and not visit in ages but we are best of friends. And we will be there when it matters most.

What a pleasure it is to have good friends.
