The Proper Care and Maintenance of Friendship
The Proper Care and Maintenance of Friendship | Lisa Verge Higgins
6 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
What makes a wife a lover? For Kate, the spark went out of her marriage long ago but her husband doesn't seem to notice. Their role as parents consumes their lives so they need to rekindle the romance they once shared. What makes a woman a mother? For Jo, a high-powered career has led her to believe that she doesn't have a single maternal instinct. When an orphan unexpectedly enters her life, she is forced to confront her own unhappy childhood and the walls it has built around her heart. What makes a man the love of your life? For Sarah, home is the steamy jungles of Africa while the man of her dreams waits in the air-conditioned confines of Los Angeles. Her longing for this man from the past is blinding her to a new love standing right in front of her. What these women all have in common is a friend with a generous soul, an irrepressible spirit- and a serious illness. In her final letters, Rachel raises one last question: What makes a friend live in our hearts forever?

Prompt: FRIENDS

Letters, letters, letters.

They weren't letters you would want to receive, though.   They were from a dear friend who had died unexpectedly, and contained her last wishes for each friend to carry out.  

A refreshing, light, and at times teary read that lets you enjoy some adventures both good and bad with the characters.

TODAY‘S PROMPT: FRIENDS

Letters, letters, letters...did yours arrive yet?

They weren't letters you would want to receive, though.

They were from Rachel, a dear friend who had died unexpectedly, and had her last wishes for each friend to carry out.

Would you go to great lengths to fulfill a friend‘s dying wish?

Less than 12 hours away ... remember, it‘s all for a good cause. Any future improvements depend on moving it to a better digital home tomorrow. Just keep saying that to yourself.

Or go visit with your Littens on LT or GR! #LitsyApocalypse #LitsyGoesDark #LitsyServerMigration

swishandflick I also have a feeling that activity in that Onwards Litsy FB group is gonna spike again 😂 (edited) 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @swishandflick I‘m sure you‘re right! 7y
ephemeralwaltz Uuuugh I hope time goes by fast tomorrow! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @ephemeralwaltz I know. And hopefully all the technical things go the way they‘re supposed to. If not, we could be facing more #downtimeblues. 7y
Cathythoughts See you on the other side 👍🏻 7y
alisiakae Library Thing seems to have just gone down, while I was in the middle of cataloging some books. I wonder if it‘s just me or not. 🧐 7y
alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage it must be site-wide, because a message pops up now that the site is down for 2.5 hours. Maybe it has to do with tomorrow‘s server transfer. 7y
ReadingSusan @4thhouseontheleft yeah it seems to be down for maintenance. I was about to finally sign up for an account. 7y

We will have to go read / work / play for about 8 hours (if all goes as expected) starting at 3am (Eastern Time) (7:00 GMT) on Tuesday, April 4. Litsy will be moving from the old servers over to LibraryThing‘s servers. Moving day!

Good news, you don‘t have to pack anything. Or clean. Or do anything but try to survive without your Litsy peeps. ❤️📚💛📚💙📚 #litsyservermigration #litsymovingday #goreadoutsidepeople #downtimeblues

RowReads1 👍🏻😄 7y
rockpools Thank you - this was the first I'd seen of this. And thank you for the GMT time as well - it helps. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @RachelO You‘re welcome. I think it‘s great that the team from LibraryThing is giving us notice! 7y
GlassAsDiamonds I love the #goreadoutsidepeople tag 😂😂😂😂 (edited) 7y
