29/ Xtine
Her daughter-in-law once asked how I became friends with Xtine, and I said, "I stalked her." She's older than I, infinitely better educated, stylish, and well-read in the extreme. Her compassion knows no bounds. She's traveled everywhere, knows everyone, and has more energy than I think I've ever possessed. But when we met at a poetry reading I knew we had common ground and the same sense of humor—all we needed to establish a best-friendship.

I feel as if I've heard of this Xtine before.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. But given the number of times I've confused what I actually wrote/what I thought about writing, I could be wrong.
DeleteI'm glad you stalked her.
ReplyDeleteStalking in the best sense of the word.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of people who live life so fully.
ReplyDeleteMe too! She's truly inspiring. And sometimes truly exhausting. :-)
DeleteWhat an interesting name! How is it pronounced?
ReplyDeleteI guess I shouldn't have written it that way. Her name is Christine, but she signs her emails Xtine.
