Blanche woke up hearing Rose whistling.

"Good morning Rose," Blanche said.

"Morning Blanche. I made breakfast."

"Why that's so thoughtful," Blanche said, "What do you want?"

She asked that teasingly.

"Nothing. I had a dream the other day and it made me realize how good a friend you are. I dreamed that you were given a gift by an angel."

"Did that angel wear tights," Blanche asked.

"No. I mean a real angel. She allowed you to save one person who had already died. I was really missing Charlie and you used your gift to save him and bring him back to me."

"Rose," Blanche said but couldn't finish her thought.

"Now I know you would never do that of course. I know that would be selfish and unfair of me to even think you would but I realized what a great friend you are. You were there for me when I really needed you. A lot of times you would not object to things you would have every right to object to like when Charlie's buddy came in. You let me keep Baby. You never once argued when-"

"Rose," Blanche said a little louder.

"And you would never lead me out in the cold. Even when we argued-"

"ROSE," Blanche said again very loudly so that Rose would pay attention.

"You're right about me being a good friend to you but you're wrong about one thing."

"What's that," Rose asked.

"I would have done that for you. Rose momma always taught me that friendship is the greatest gift. I don't just speak that saying. I live it."

Rose hugged her friend.

"But you are the strongest person I know Rose," Blanche said, "You are always smiling. You're always happy and you don't let anything bother you. As for me, well I put on a happy face but I'm not as strong as you are. I'm not that strong in the least. I couldn't get through the things you've gotten through. You're always so positive as well. I can't be as strong as you are Rose. I just can't. I admire that about you."

"I know what you mean I guess," Rose admitted, "But I don't always feel strong."

"Thank you for being a friend," Blanche said.

"Travel down a road and back again," Rose replied smiling
