33 - Liz is glad to be friends with Pollyanna, a Military Wives Choir tale

Two years ago an old friend of mine got in touch to tell me one of her friends who was also her neighbour was being posted with the Army down south.  She would be living near me and as she had sung with RAF Leemings MWC so might like to join Salisbury Plain Military Wives Choir, which just happens to be the choir that I sing with.

This lady’s name was Pollyanna and she runs this BeGlad movement! 

Sadly she has already had to move on again away from all of us here at Salisbury Plain. I know Polly found it hard to move again having just got truly settled, and it is a lifestyle that we as Military Wives quickly learn to accept and embrace. This doesn’t make it any easier though. I am so glad that Polly moved down here for she has brought so much to my life. We’ve laughed together, sung together, cried together and supported each other through thick and thin! Polly is a role model for positivity and strength and she inspires me daily to look for the positives in my life.

Note from Polly.
I'm so touched that Liz sent this to me, we have had some amazing fun together through the choir. I just want to mention a time which I will forever be truly grateful for and in awe of as it was such a fab idea and so totally selfless. When I had my son my husband was working away during the week for the first six months of his life. One evening Liz came over with food, plates and cutlery in a bag so that she could feed me and not leave me with any washing up! Most importantly she also brought chocolate!! What an awesome friend. Thank you for being so lovely Liz, you are a true gem of a human being. Miss you loads.
