Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I had an hour long conversation with my best friend today.  She just returned from a trip with her older sister.  She gave her sister the gift of her presence and care for a week.  Her sister has health problems and is struggling in other ways, and my friend has compassion.  I treasure that compassion and her general generosity in her life.  She has given so much support to me and my family, and is an honorary aunt to my kids.  For every important event she has stood by my side in the place of the sister I never had and the family that is gone.  She likes people.  I do as well.  Her connections are mulitiple and rich and she tends her garden of relationships like a master gardener.  I hope she has a lovely Mother's Day.  She deserves it.
