Girls With Dirt On Our Feet

Happy last day of Summer Sunday, church day, worship in your own way.
Last week I met a friend to help say goodbye to her faithful dog and travel  companion, Jackie. Grim news delivered the day before.  Jackie was suffering from pneumonia and lung cancer. Painful violent coughing with no relief so sad. 
Laura and Jackie had many happy years together.  Now one last swim. 
There were 4 of us, kindred spirits, parked off the side of a country back road. A  favorite local watering hole with Cyphress trees that touch the sky and perfect stones for skipping rocks across the creek.  Those that had to work sent text and facebook messages. We all understood. 
You see we are girls with a little dirt on our feet. We love. We win. We lose but never do we give up or give in and always it is girlfriends in the end. 
So sorry for your loss my sweet Laura.  We, the girls with a little dirt on our feet, are standing with you in that creek. kisses
