Let me know if you need anything.

While I was waiting for the biopsy results many friends came through for me.  Many of you offered emails and prayers and that was more helpful than you may know.  Things turned out great and I don't doubt the power of prayer.

There were "friends" who stopped by and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" and then there were friends who just knew what to do.

Bobbie noticed my pathetic manicure (or lack of) and my bitten nails and bleeding cuticles and next day, these were hand delivered:

That gift made me so aware of how true friends operate.  They don't walk out of your messy house with the hollow gesture, "Let me know if I can help."  They grab the vacuum or start loading the dishwasher.  They call and say, "I'm picking you up in one hour to take you to lunch."  They don't suggest that you stop biting your nails and worrying, they buy you beautiful purple gloves.

I am blessed.

Marian - you are right, I learned that long ago. Instead of "let me know if I can bring over dinner" I say "do you want enchiladas or lasagna". Sounds like you have some wonderful friends.

What a beautiful post.  I am so glad that things turned out well for you, and those gloves, I'm sure, will be cherished for a long time.  And purple? Does it get any better than that? :)

It's so great to have the kind of friends that don't have to ask... they just do and it makes all the difference.
