I enjoyed picking mirabelle plums for a friend of mine; I have known her since we were seven. She loves them.
She has an autoimmune disease and has already lost the ability to walk and move her hands.
I visited her yesterday, and we were talking about all the exciting road trips we took together (with two other friends) in our late teens and twenties. She said that all those memories help her get through her long days – she visualises the things we did together.
She often says to me and our other two friends: “Girls, you must walk as much as you can! Walk also for me.”
I have learnt so much from her. And I am grateful that I can, in small ways, brighten her moments and bring a little joy to her days.
