Yesterday Mads and her bestie got to making bouquets and squeezing lemons for her business fair today down in Milford. Aubrey's mom had to work, so I hung with the girls then she came and hung out......and we both have friendships in our lives.....ones that are significant, but we have sort of become the "hangin on a regular kinda besties" and I have not had too many significant mom friends in my journey so far.....only a few that were raising kids the same age as mine.....with Gabe...... we were always on the outskirts of it all....my having friends with older kids during that time, and not really being a part of normal kinds of things where you meet mom friends......but I had. few that came my way during that time.....that were huge blessings to me.....but this is the first time where my kid is jiving with their kid and we are jiving as moms, and it is so fun! A special kind of bond that came to us through serendipitous means, and it has been a blessing! Mads and Aub adore each other, and the moms adore them too:) Mads is forever thinking of Aubrey in her day to day, and what she wants to share with her and what she will like and the feeling is mutual.....and I am so glad for Mads that she is having that childhood bestie experience.....one of the friendships she will carry all of her life in her mind and heart.....it is special to watch, and yesterday warmed my heart......watching them interact......and help each other accomplish their goals......both Aub and her mom are headed to a camp for the summer so our time with them will be limited till school starts again, so it was a last hurrah sort of vibe.....it will be fun to share with each other our adventures when we get to meet up this summer! And the presence of them in our lives makes me certain in some of the things I believe......like divine timing and gifts from above....the characters that get sent to us and play in our stories.....I do not believe they are accidental......I believe the timing is perfection......and our deep fondness for them, and theirs for our family is a reminder that our lives are a tapestry of the people that love us....and that even at nearly 50 I haven't met all the people that will love me in this life yet.....or that I will love.....what a magical gift that is to think of....to love and be loved.....one that is never lost on me......a treasure! So I am feeling grateful for the gift of their friendship in our lives.....and Gabe loves them both just the same, always rushing to greet them when they come:) It is so special! I am hopeful that the weather will hold for my girl's business fair and hope those flowers sell out and that lemonade:) And Gabe is headed to a 3 day training at the church for training for Vacation Bible school, he is stoked to hang with the youth group! Lots of magic happening for my kids and it makes my heart happy:) Happy Sunday!
