So, there is this very special group of ladies whom I have known for nearly four years. They all have children born either Sept 2005 or October 2005. They are my online friends. Some of them are from the United States and many from other countries.
It may sound silly to call them very special friends, but they are ALL that and more to me. I 'talk' to these ladies nearly every single day. We share stories about our babies and our every day lives. They always listen and always support. I can't imagine the last four years without the relationships of these ladies in my lives. The first few months of Jessica's life when we were trying to figure out how to get her sleeping through the night, all of these women were going through the exact same thing with me. Back when Joshua was only 9 months old, I hopped on a plane with Jessica and Josh and flew to New York to meet some of them. It was so great to finally get to hug some of them. There are others that I can only hope one day I will get see face to face. Just today one of the mommas drove 9 hours to visit with me in Georgia. Their friendships, to me, are priceless. This is a group of ladies that I hope to keep as friends....for a very, very long time.
And since this is my journal....I want to say thank you to each of them!
