She served the scrambled eggs on an insignificant plate. They were warm and fluffy. They tasted like a blanket of support flavored with unconditional friendship. Shaking hands gripped the fork, aiming to be steady but failing slightly. Like the shells, my psyche was fragile, cracked and dripping exposure.
Her small gestures were the start of putting Humpty Dumpty back together again. A shoulder to lean on. Someone to walk with on the road to recovery. Not a hand out but one up. She listened. Cared. Offered no judgment. Gave me music and laughter. My friend. Thank you.
