What a happy surprise to have my friend Trudy and her mother drop in with English candies\u00a0and all their news. They’ve lived in America for many years, but they are originally from England. Her mother’s voice and accent are unforgettable to me.<\/p>\n

Trudy moved in down the street when I was about 13. We became friends after I tried to comb out all the tangles in her hair when she got pneumonia and had to spend weeks in bed. I had good times at their home. I loved their Christmas celebrations with traditional English fare in lavish portions in a\u00a0beautiful presentation on their table. Trudy was there to help me get ready for my prom date; she was there when I made transitions to high school, college, and a new apartment. I played the violin for her missionary farewell. We dried each other’s tears and sometimes we were silly.<\/p>\n

Trudy’s hair is beyond gorgeous, and these two women are masterful teachers and they love children. Each has an\u00a0advanced degree in education. I didn’t have a maid of honor or a bridesmaid\u00a0at my wedding because Trudy was serving a mission in California and I couldn’t imagine anyone else standing in that\u00a0role. She’s such a dear and generous friend. I am so glad she took the time to visit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
