Melissa had made quite a few more friends outside of her own circle recently and she wasn't complaining about that in the slightest. It was nice to have people to spend time with, but more than that Melissa was a caregiver. So, for her it was nice to have people to care about.....to be there for. Monika was one of those more recent friends, but that didn't keep Melissa from caring about her just as much. She checked on her often and made sure to make the time to spend time with her as much as she could. Of course, it helped that Melissa had always been good with time management. It came from being a single working mother. For this week Melissa had invited Monika to go out for Ice Cream with her; it had just seemed like something fun that they could do together. And honestly she was looking forward to it herself. It had been quite some time since she had allowed herself to do little fun things like this, and now she was doing them more and more. At least she was keeping the promise to herself and for her that was all that mattered. For the first time in a long time she was focusing more on the people in her life than the little details and she was giving them her attention more than just providing for them. While she knew that providing for her son was important, she wanted to also be there for him and all of the people in their life. They had agreed to meet at the Ice Cream shop, so since Melissa had some shopping that she wanted to get done before hand she had left early. After dropping her purchases off at home, she had made her way back out to the Creamery. Once there she made her way inside and chose a table near the entrance; even with all of that she was still a little on the early side and of course she wouldn't dream of ordering before Monika arrived. |
