friends

L came down from 2 hours away and joined us for our Baptism celebrations for our daughter this past weekend. It was completley unexpected. She isn't very good about keeping in touch. I hadn't realized how long it had been since we saw her last and how much we had all gone through since then, but it seemed from when she walked through the door that nothing had changed and we were all together like there was no distance apart from us. It was refreshing and reaffirming of the bonds that we've made over the years.

 

Living where we are now, apart from our friends and the people we love, we immerse ourselves in our kids to confirm that there are people out there who want us and need us. That's all well and good, but its difficult to have an adult conversation with a two-year-old who has no choice but to love you. :-)
