I consider myself lucky to be surrounded by friends. Some I've been friends with since I was very young, the ages my littlest boys are now.
A few I know I could call and they would be there for me. And, I for them.
I think we all agree, friends are invaluable.
It's fun to see my children making friendships. Will these friendships last forever? I like to think so.
My children's friends have become special to me. I enjoy getting to know them, learning what it is about my kids that they like. Seeing them be silly and speak their own languages.
I hope I can create an atmosphere that my kids and their friends will want to be with us, hang at our house.
I took this picture, with my cell phone, of my two boys and their friend.
What fills my heart even more, when I forwarded the picture to the friend's mom, she asked for a copy because she loves my boys as much as I love son.
That's what friends do.
My son is 23 and remained friends with three guys until they started college. Two of the three sort of went their own way. Sad, really. The third one is still friends with my son and they hang out together as often as they can. He met one friend when he was THREE, another one at FIVE and the third one, who he still stays in contact with, at SEVEN! They are all grown men now. How weird is that?
ReplyDeletePriceless. That's definitely a framer.
