We went for a lovely meal with friends (a Chinese takeaway). Karen has been my close friend since I met her at college despite there being over 10 years difference in our ages. She has always supported me through thick and thin. She allowed us all to stay with her family between houses, she drove me for my chemotherapy treatments even though she was still breastfeeding her firstborn, she helped my eldest daughter deal with the death of my mother (I was in the States). I've never had a friend like that and it was a tough good bye. First time I have really felt loss at our emigration.
Then yesterday, I had a lovely day in York with another close friend. I was given a silver charm of a coffee cup to remind me of all the times we had had a cuppa together. So, so grateful for these amazing people. Really hope that I find good friends in the USA and also that I keep my present friends from afar.
