New friend?

This afternoon I took D. to a friend’s house for a birthday sleepover, and the mom invited me in. We’d only met briefly before, so this was the first time we really got to talk. It turns out that she’s been suffering from a form of chronic fatigue for the last 10 years (after having been taught, as an RN, that it was nonsense). Now she’s started going to Stanford for an anti-viral treatment, and she’s finally beginning to get better! She’s been doing craft projects, and she showed me a sketch she’d made of her son’s favorite cat, and the t-shirts she’s cutting up to crochet together for a rug. She seems like a very open and accepting person, and D. especially likes being in class with her son.
