Apple Pie
As has happened many times before, one of my pie recipients called to thank me for their pie. After a few moments, the conversation turned to “how do you choose who to give a pie to?” When I told her that sometimes people recommend someone they know that they think is deserving of a pie – and often it will be someone I have never met before. Then she quietly asked, “Can I recommend someone to you?” Well, if you have been following this blog for any time at all, you know the answer to that question, “Of course.”
Then I asked a question of her, “Would you please tell me why this lady deserves a pie?” And as she began to speak I could hear that she was overcome with emotion and I knew that she was trying to regain her composure. Without hearing one word of accolades about the future pie recipient, I knew that she must be quite a friend and my response was, “She sounds like a great lady. I’d be happy to make her a pie.” And so today I did just that.
It’s funny isn’t it? Sometimes we say a lot without saying anything at all.
The language of friendship is not words but meanings. Henry David Thoreau

Heartwarming! You are so perceptive.
Donna, maybe I have just been overwhelmed myself at times and recognized that. Thanks for your kind thoughts.
