Mothers on the run for a quick drink

 

I’m back in my hometown. Ever since we rented out the apartment we used to live in, our visits have felt so much calmer. We hadn’t planned to return to Sofia — we’ve been swamped with work, cleaning the new house we bought, and figuring out how to renovate it. But this trip had a very special reason… I’ll share more about it soon on the blog.

One of my closest friends for the past 26 years — and also my child’s pediatrician — Bori, lives here. We finally found a bit of free time to spend together. As mothers, we’re always rushing somewhere, never really having time for ourselves. But sometimes, miracles happen — and this time, we managed to align our schedules and meet almost every day, even if just for an hour.

It may not sound like much, but believe me, for a mother, a free hour feels like three weeks! The real magic happened when we went out without the kids and enjoyed a cocktail while strolling through the neighborhood. It was only around 5 p.m., but we felt like celebrating this small, glorious accomplishment! I’m sure every mother out there understands — so ladies, raise your next glass for us!

I’m so happy we caught up on all the latest news and events in each other’s lives. Our friendship means the world to me — we’ve stood by each other through both the highs and the lows. Even now, living 250 km apart, we find ways to stay connected and support one another. I hope she’ll come visit once the house is finished, and that we’ll have even more time to spend together.
