Friends: the short version

Isn't is great to have friends who love you for you!?  You call when you can and they don't complain, if you have to cancel a lunch because you've had a horrible morning and really just need to be home to pray, they don't mind, and if you call them crying your eyes out because nothing is necessarily wrong they calm you down and love on you.  I consider myself super blessed to have some friends like these.  Those of us who are moms are typically busier than others and rarely get to talk but even if its been 6 months we still have that bond and we know that the other one will be there for us no matter what.  Then there are those that we hold dear that have moved on in their lives and we were sort of left by the wayside because our season with them was over and that too is o.k., we still love them and pray for them even when our heart hurts a little to see them blossom and grow or cry and kneel and not be able to give them a high-five or a hug.  

My best friend is my husband, my other half, the only one who knows me better than him is God.  He is always there for me, to listen, to talk, to just sit in silence with me when the kids are finally asleep.  I couldn't have asked for a better friend than him.
