Last night, my husband and I hosted dinner club. Our dinner club consists of five couples who gather every month at the home of members. This month marks 29 years for our get-togethers. We are a casual group, with the host and hostess providing the main dish and assigning appetizers, salads, and desserts.
We have seen each other through the births of babies and the deaths of parents. We have weathered illnesses, including cancer, hip replacements, and others. We celebrate the births of grandchildren and weep over the inevitable sadnesses that beset every life. Always, we do these things together.
Last year, we said a temporary goodbye to one of our couples who left to serve a mission for our church. They are still part of our group, in our thoughts, in our prayers, in our hearts.
This I know for sure: old friends are more precious than gold.
