My Long Lost Friend

I've bought bracelets from Karin in the past (2) & have looked for her these last 2 years unsuccessfully. Lo & behold she walked right past me. We both recognized each other instantly. She doesn't do bracelets so much any more but she had some with her. Since it's been "awhile," it seemed like 2 bracelets were in order today. Wil bought me the matching pashminas at the stand next to hers. Karin's mother & my mother died w/in days of each other. The bracelets are fashioned w/buttons from her mom's collection so it's a special connection we have. We parted w/John Couissarat's favorite farewell: "Peace to you." John is gone 1 month today. May he rest in peace.
