Thankful November-Day 15

November 15, 2013

Today I am thankful for old friends. I am thankful for the friends you have had for so long that they know you better than most people ever will, even if you haven't spoken to them every day. I am thankful that these are the friends who you will take the time to spend time with at holiday's and on quick trips to your hometown. You will do this because you want your children to know this person who knows their momma before she was momma. So your kids will have someone who can tell them about you and what you were like and that you weren't always this lame.

I am thankful that these are the people who will cry with you when your precious doggy dies and when you find out you are pregnant and when your life just feels like its crumbling. They will remind you to keep fighting and remind you of all the crappy times you have overcome.

These are the people that see your family at the grocery store or at home and it makes them smile because its like they got to see you. These are the people whose kids have classes with your nieces and nephews and tell you stories about what they are like in school so you feel like you get to know them better. These are people who teach your nieces and nephews or who see them in the halls and your nieces and nephews don't know whether to add Mrs. to their name because they've never greeted them like that before.

I am thankful that I have old friends in my life still. They are such a huge part of who I am today and I can't imagine life without them.

So, to all my old friends, I love you!
