Good Bye or See You Later.......

Whatever it is you say when you know it will be awhile before you see someone it is hard. My GREAT friend left this week and it has been emotional for me. As I think back over the years there are very few "close" friends that I have had. I am a stay to myself type of person and not outgoing at all. When Rachel moved here 3 years ago I had no clue as to how much she would change my life. She called me up one day (I had no clue as to who she was) and simply said "I have a little boy the same age as yours and would love to have a play date" and I guess you could say the rest is history. Rachel is the one I could count on for anything, anytime. I loved our walks with the kids (where the little ones became best friends as well) and I loved that she was so open and honest with me about everything. I will miss our tips to town where I could get what I need while she kept the kids and she got what she needed while I kept the kids. I know through our lives we meet people and have friends but it is rare to find such a great friend when our personalities are so different. I love you Rachel and I will miss you, but I WILL see you soon! Sadly I have a ton of memories but not many photos!

I've been thinking of you this week, wondering how you were doing. I know I'm no Rachel, but I'll be your buddy! I could use some adult conversation!

You know I will always be a phone call, email or text away. And summer vacations are a must!! Casey, I wouldn't have made it through AZ without YOU! You were my sanity and shoulder to lean on for EVERYTHING. Thank YOU for being you! Friends for a lifetime. I promise.
