Cherry Blossom Friendship

I have gotten together with four friends every Tuesday evening for the past 12 years.  We play the game Maj Jongg, but what we're really doing is keeping up with each other.  We share concerns, losses, dreams and laughs.  When my mother passed away two years ago, they gave me a weeping cherry tree.  It certainly wasn't necessary, but it was the perfect gift.  The tree is thriving, as you can see from these beautiful blooms.  It represents friendship, which I would like to share with all of you, my treasured blip friends.
