Mary and Maude

Maude was a good friend. She was there for Mary when she was pregnant during the fall of 2019. Mary’s husband John observed this one day, the good friend thing, and said, “Being there for someone else is what friends are for, right?” John felt right after he said this. Mary agreed. And, as she sat at the kitchen table eating her eggs, Maude by her side, she couldn’t help thinking what life would be like without her.
