Friends

Do you ever sit and wonder what happened to those old friends that you used to be so close to so long ago? The friend that you confided everything, the one you got in all the trouble with, the one that you lost. We start at a very young age saying... "so and so is my 'best friend'". I can remember in prekindergarten having a friend, Amy, and we were inseparable. One day she and her family moved away and I have never seen her since. All through elementry school the best friends changed but a few really stick out to me. Once I got to middle and high school is where I really formed friendships that I thought would last forever but... most didn't.
I think about them often. How they are doing, where they live, if they are happy. I wonder if they miss our friendship or just don't care. I'm grateful for the friends that have stuck by me over the years. Stayed my friend even after the stupid or mean things that I have done. I am also grateful for my new friends that I pray will be there for the rest of my days but you never know.
As you get older, I feel, making friends gets harder. People are stuck in their ways and keep to their clicks. (Yes, soccer moms have clicks.) I wonder how many people in their 70's, 80's, 90's are all alone because their friends and loved ones have either passed away or forgotten all about them. I don't want to be forgotten. Sure, there are things I have done that I would like for people to forget but I want to be relivent. I want to be there for people and have someone be there for me when I have good news to share or need a shoulder to cry on.
Maybe it's time to answer those emails that I have been neglecting. Return phone calls that I have been avoiding. Send out some belated birthday cards. I need to do something to mend the relationships that just might soon be another long lost friendship.

My Two Year Old Son's Best Sarah Palin Impressions

My two year old son's best Sarah Palin Impressions.


















The truth of these photos are that my son found a few pair of old glasses that I wore years ago. He begged me to take his picture and when I uploaded them one of them caught my eye as Palin-esk.

My son does not claim to be democrat or republican and chooses to stand as an independent until he is old enough to read the news paper and/or understand CNN; which ever comes first.

This is just meant to be silly and fun and in no way offensive to Sara Palin or her supporters. I do not claim to own the photos of Sara Palin.
