My Sweet Friend

Just to give an update: since I wrote last, I've now recieved a total of seven ecards, another phone call, several sweet emails "from J," and a very lovely tribute from my best friend E on her blog. I went there to check and see if she had posted an update since returning from her vacation and when the site popped up I saw.......ME! Yup, she posted a picture of me and J and the sweetest message all about how special she thinks I am. Well, let me just say that the feeling is totally mutual. She and I met on a website called babyfit.com when we were both pregnant. We were in a group of women who were all due in June of 07. After our babies were born and we went back to work, we exchanged email addresses so that we could talk to one another directly instead of through babyfit. From then on we have only grown closer and closer. I really consider her my best friend (second to my husband, of course) and don't know how I'd get through a workday without her. We literally talk every day. We share our joys, our worries, our gripes, and our children. We each hold a very special place in our hearts, not only for each other, but also for each other's babies. Baby B is my sweet princess. We live in different states many many miles from one another and have never met face to face. We talk on the phone occasionally. I would give anything to hug my dear friend E and to smother Miss B in kisses! I know without a doubt that God brought us into each other's lives and I beleive he will give us a way to meet each other in person some day.

So I just wanted to take the time to say thank you darling E, and I love you. You are a tremendous encouragement to me and I appreciate the way you hold me accountable to my faith. You are an invaluable addition to my life. I love you with all my heart!

P.S., If you scroll down to the bottom of my blog page, you will find a link to my best friend E's blog. Check it out, she is wonderful. (And she and baby B are both gorgeous!)
