Friends for Life




Happy Wednesday! Today was the first day my son and his best friend walked to school together. I have to say this made my heart melt. When I was younger my parents moved due to my Dad's job. We started in California, then Arizona and then Colorado. It was difficult for me since I wasn't very outgoing in school and trying to make new friends didn't come easy. Many of the kids had their friends since kindergarten and unfortunately for me I was the outcast. I am very fortunate in that I have a home that we don't plan on moving until my son is out of high school. He will be able to walk to grade school, middle school, and high school from our house.
Last year when I left work I met a new friend. She happens to be the mom of D-Boy's best friend. I 100% believe that God brought her into my life at a time I really needed her. She lives 4 blocks from us and just last night we all walked over to visit. Me, D-boy, the pilot and our dog. We've watched each other's kids, we've gone to concerts, we've joined the same gym and pool. She has enhanced my life in more ways than one. Friends are important to have, especially ones that don't judge you. My best friend gave my husband a kidney, not in a million years did I ever think that was going to happen when I meet her 12 years ago. She has been there for me in good times and bad. She inspires me to be a better person. I don't have a lot of friends but the ones I do have I truly cherish. 
Take a moment today and maybe tell one of your friends how thankful you are to have them in your life.
