You can even manage to get this girl, who hates to be vulnerable, to cry fountains! I'm thankful for you "crying" this month. What's the saying, "the friends who cry together, drink together"? Or was that my saying?? ;)BlessedMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607643794883418528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739708806607947858.post-53757792680474998132011-03-22T09:30:07.403-05:002011-03-22T09:30:07.403-05:00Ok. First of all, I’ve cried more in the past mont...Ok. First of all, I’ve cried more in the past month than I have in my lifetime. Well, that’s not completely true. I did cry a lot after my Mother died, but it didn’t hit me until about a month after her death. Then I realized my life would never be the same again and the flood gates just opened. My point is I’m not a “crier”. So stop it, Devon! You know I hate to cry! But when I read your blog the other day about how you’ve embarked on this new plan to homeschool (even though I’ve known about it for over a month now), I think it just hit me that things are going to change. <br /><br />Now, I’ve always been a believer that change is good. And even though, selfishly, I’d like things to stay the same, I’m genuinely so proud and excited for the venture you’re about to take with your family. I know it is the right thing for you guys. Sure it’s going to be hard, but is anything “good” and “right” ever easy? No. So don’t worry about the naysayers and the uncertainties because it will all fall into place. You have to trust that God has led you to do this for a reason. <br /><br />As for you and me – our friendship – well, that’s always going to be there no matter what school you send your kids to or what city we live in. I distinctly remember saying that to you a few years ago after we had our one and only 0.5 spat about something I can’t even remember now! I think of you like my sister and I really do mean that. We’ve been through so much together from raising our kids together to the beach trips and lake trips. And of course all the talks filled with stories and disbelief at our amazing ability to make it through the teenage years alive despite our foolish choices. I base our friendship on the years of good memories and the undeniable faith we have in each other. I think you would agree that our bond is more than a friendship. It’s a bond as thick as a lifetime of times together and experiences shared. It is family.themacbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726212708998928738noreply@blogger.com
