The company we keep...

Throughout my life I've been told (and reminded) that the friends you surround yourself with are a reflection upon you...well if this is true, then my mom sure is one hell of a woman! (as if I didn't already know). I was just sitting here thinking about the many ways in which people have expressed their love, concern, support, etc. I can only dream that if I were to switch shoes with my mom, that I would have as many wonderful, warm, and consistently kind-hearted friends.
Something else I have observed is that these friends have been here all along, not just when she was well, or just when she was sick...but always, just because! So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for embracing this situation as my family has been forced to, and for welcoming us into your hearts and homes when we need it the most.
If you haven't had a chance to stop by, or even if you already have, my mom would love to see you. I think she might be going a little bit stir crazy:) Give us a call anytime, if my mom doesn't pick up, feel free to try my phone as well. These days I am her party planner so to speak! It is always great to see you, if not for a long visit, than a quick "pop in and say hello." Your company is valued and does wonders for her soul and fighting spirit. See you soon!
