I am sooooo thankful to have been able to spend so much time in the past few days with so many true friends. It is so hard to be separated from some of my best friends, but I am so fortunate that we all make an effort to see one another.

And really, most of all, I’m just so thankful that they take me for who I am – all of my flaws and “cracks”, and they love me anyway. Such a blessing!! When you find friends like that, it doesn’t matter how far away they live – just down the street or on the other side of the state/country – you hold on to them.
