February Sucks: Tommy's Birthday

... relatively separate lives. Although her and Dave's two kids and Tommy and Emma had grown up with the one huge yard to play in.

Linda's original house had been the anchor, and they'd added the other three houses as they became available. It had been a novel arrangement. Dee wasn't sure anymore who had first suggested it. The first one, right behind Linda and Jim's, was where Dave and Dee had moved to. Emma moved into the third when she got married, and Tommy into the fourth when he and Shelly got hitched.

"Hi Linda, I'm en route and should be there in about ten minutes."

"Hi Dee, great. I'm really looking forward to lunch today."

Once they were seated and lunch orders placed Linda called for Mimosa's.

"What the occasion Linda?"

"Dee, I've been reflecting these last couple of days about our friendship. You have been more than a friend to me, you stayed with me right after that night, and you were there for me while I was recovering. It was a whole year before I went back to work. You and Dave moved into the house behind ours just so you could be close and make sure we were ok."

I wanted to say out loud how much I appreciate it. How grateful I am to have such a friend, such a good friend like you." Linda raised her glass and they both took sips. Linda got up and came around the table to give Dee a hug. The two women embraced and Linda whispered to Dee a thank you.

After Linda had gone back to her seat, "Wow Linda, I had thought we'd be having a normal mundane lunch, but first Mimosa's, then a speech, and now a hug. I really feel special now."

"I have two more things to talk about. I asked Dave not to mention this to you; I wanted to give you the news myself. Jim is coming home. The Governor has commuted Jim's sentence, he'll be a free man as soon as all the paperwork is done.

Dee's hands went to her mouth and she got teary right away. "I knew Tommy and Dave have been lobbying the Governor for a few years, I didn't know they had made so much progress. When did all this happen?"
