Reunion with a good friend

After a day in DC we met a college friend of mine who lives in the area. Phyliss and I haven't seen each other in 40 years. Phyliss has spent most of those 40 years suffering. (a very crippling form of arthritis) Her body bears the scars but I very quickly discovered the friend I knew. Dispite it all she has a sweet spirit and is not embittered by a difficult life. I really enjoyed the time we spent with her and her husband.
