Our new friends came over today and while the girls enjoyed playing all sorts of games in Pumpkin's room, the mommies actually had a chance to visit. How great is that? An adult conversation. In the middle of the day... on a Thursday. Who would have ever thought?
I am thankful for my new friend.
On a side note: My new friend noticed a couple of the mementos in our home that honor Molly and Joseph and asked me about them. I shared a glimpse into our family story and she couldn't have been lovelier about it. She was appropriately compassionate, asked gentle questions, and offered not a single platitude or cliche. For that too, I am thankful.

What a wonderful gift!
What a great new friend for you both!
Yes, I have a couple of those friends too, courtesy of Monkey, and with zero platitudes to their names... One of them even blogs. :)
And I, too, am very thankful for those friends. And for all my friends, for that matter.
