As busy parents, it's often hard with the day to day chores and running the kids here, there and everywhere, to develop and nurture the friendships that we encourage our own kids to develop. When your kids take up so much of your time that you barely have time for yourself - how do you build those ties that are so vital to our growth as a person?
Someone told me once, "A friend helps your move......a TRUE friend helps you move the body". That is SO true - lol.
Once in a while, someone truly special comes along and touches us in a way so unique that it forever enriches our lives and makes us a better person for knowing that person. These are the ones we need to hang on to. We need to savagely embrace these people and hold them close...for they're more precious than gold.
There is just such a person in my life. The way this person has touched my life, I know that I will forever reap the benefits of knowing them. Not only would this person help me move the body........they'd bring the shovels and beer. You know who you are......know that you've touched my life and made it better. You're my best friend....my confidant...the one I tell my secrets to.....
So when you're out there encouraging your kids to meet new people and make new friends.....remember to stop once in a while and take your own advise. A new friend might be waiting just around the corner and when you meet them and they enrich your life...embrace that friendship and hold on to it as tightly as you can........I know,that just like mine, your life will be better for having these people as part of them.
To my best friend out there......know that you're my safe harbor in the storm and I love you!!!
