Since August when our girl left for Hong Kong her 2 friends Lindsey and Stav have come for dinner (always on Friday night, like shabbat) every couple of months. What can I say? A Jewish mother whose children are far away. I get to cook, see photos of Lindsey and Liz when Lindsey visited HK in January, and most importantly we spend time with young women who are so close to our daughter. Their closeness to her comes shining through. Their conversation is always thoughtful, intelligent, emotionally sophisticated, and filled with humor. I love these girls and am so happy they are in our Austin lives. One's a social work grad student, the other is a teacher. Like Liz the world is so enhanced by their presence.
They leave with care packages for tomorrow's meal and I end the evening happy to have fed them.
And now it's time to rehearse lines for tomorrow's UT audition.
