Knitted blue beret to New Zealand
Fresh from the needles
Sending it to New Zealand
I'm prompt to write seeing how beautiful the date is today. 22 Feb. 2022 or 22-2-22. Isn't it beautiful? There won't be another date like this anymore. So, it's best to write about it.
So, today is a special date for loving couples and best friends.
After I've completed knitting a blue beret, I put it on during a lunch occasion with the family. Of course, I posted some of the scenes on Facebook. It caught the eyes of a friend in New Zealand. She likes it in blue and so I knit the same pattern and sent it to her.
We were neighbours back in 1993, (31 years ago). The family went together when my husband got transferred to Wales. I remembered, her daughter, knocked on our door every morning to walk with my two girls to school. I've made many good friends with other people in the neighbourhood but Sally and her family were closest to us.
After Wales, my husband work got him transferred to Malaysia, Sally's family made a big move by going to the north island of New Zealand.
We still keep in touch, almost every day now. We've entered our senior years. My only wish (I'm sure hers too), is to meet again while still able to move about.
Good friends are never forgotten. Any attempt at meeting again only shows (without words) the bonding of comfort and love.
