I've missed her.
Even though I'm with her almost everyday, I've still missed her. She used to be my buddy that would go everywhere with me, and that came to a shrieking halt. So I've really, really, missed her. BAD. It makes me cry just writing about it.
It's been over 2 1/2 years since we got to do this. Just sit and talk, and enjoy a relaxing meal. Just me and her. And of course, our Charleston :).
There's a wonderful restaurant downtown Turlock named Bistro 234. They have outdoor seating. I drove down there earlier in the day and talked to them about bringing them there. We needed a place away from foot traffic......outside, away from germs.......and away from people. I told them it was going to be the first time doing this, so we were nervous. They were amazing. Just asked what we needed, and they did it. Love them.
So I went over to their house, whispered in my Charleston's ear that we were going to give mama a big treat, and take her out to dinner. He started his happy sounds.
We loaded up, and off we went. Less than 10 minutes away from home, but one of the biggest treats we've ever had. We got to go out to dinner, just sit and talk, and include our Charleston in our conversation. Amazing. Wonderful. I'm still on Cloud 9. Because we still have our Charleston, and because.........
