This past week I was in the San Francisco Bay area on some personal business. I flew up Monday afternoon and took care of my business on Tuesday. I left the bay area today, Thursday. While I was there I stayed with the mother of one of my closest friends; I have known him and therefore her since the third grade. I told her that I had to take care of business on Tuesday but the rest of the time I just wanted to hangout with her.

It was a great three days spent with a wonderful lady. She is Eighty-four now and still sharp as a tack and looks great! We reminisced about stories of my childhood with her son, growing up in the neighborhood. She told me stories of her childhood; some bay area history there.

I am so grateful for this past week spent with a lady whom I affectionately call, “Mom”.
