"Though miles come between us - We are never far apart
For friendship doesn't count the miles - It's measured by the heart"
When they sent a text to say they were at Wetaskiwin, I set the timer on the oven so I would know exactly when they would arrive. Otherwise I knew I would be running to the window every 10 minutes to see if they had pulled into the driveway.
There really is nothing like spending time with the your 2 oldest friends. It's such a nice comfortable feeling being with people who have known you your whole life. I kept willing the minutes to go slower so I could savor every moment, knowing visits like this are few & far between. And now we share marriage & motherhood which just brings us even closer!
My heart is feeling pretty full right now, so instead or writing & re-writing, trying to get the words right - I'm creating a list of the highlights instead:
Meeting Gabriella for the first time
Classic Slumber Party
Staying up talking until 2am
Reminiscing & hearing lots of "remember when we...."
Reading old notes sent back & forth from 15 years ago
Staying in our jammies until lunch
Relaxing on the deck
Deciding to extend the slumber party another night
Other dear friends dropping by to visit
Sharing motherhood moments
Eating, eating, eating...
Lots of baby snuggling with not one, but two delicious wee ones (both born on the same day!)
Crazy two years old who are two peas in a pod & kept us thoroughly entertained
Tears when they leave....
