Overwhelmed with depression and loneliness, i called my neighbor Anne to see if she had made her near daily trip to the grocery store and if i could join her. Just to get away from the empty house and my dangerous thoughts. Although she hadn't planned to, she offered to take me to the store, where i didn't need anything ... i was just looking for company. A friend. Anne was so wonderful taking me on an extended detour to the store. A beautiful ride on a Seattle spring afternoon along Alki beach, through the hills of amazing houses, passing the busy shopping junction and soaking in the glorious life i have longed to see and live. Our ride was only about an hour long, but the view and the friendship was what this soul desperately needed to find hope for tomorrow.
