So, I am being a little nostalgic right now. Last November we sold our first home in Wisconsin and moved half way across the country to Pennsylvania, leaving some wonderful friends behind. It broke my heart to leave, yet I know that this is where we need to be right now. And, I love where we are, I just wish I could take all of my friends from WI with me.
A year ago today I had several friends help clean my house and pack up a truck to move across the country.
A year ago today I said good bye to some of the best friends I have ever had.
A year ago today a good friend let all 7 of us (at the time) stay in her home, another took care of my sick baby, and others watched, fed, and bathed my youngest kids. Others stayed most of the day helping us, one had her sick daughter lay on my floor and watch TV while she helped me. What a blessing to have friends who see your needs (and gently make suggestions) when you are too exhausted to make rational decisions.
A year ago today I learned that even though life is not fair at times, the unfairness of it can be what is really best for you in the end. As much as I hated to leave WI, the move here has been a huge blessing.
A year ago today I realized, once again, how very blessed we have been with good friends who have helped us to be better people. I consider knowing you an honor.
Thanks to all of you who have inspired me and been my friend, I love you.
