My Buddy!

Over a year ago I got the opportunity to meet and hang out with one of the mothers from my preschool class. From that day on we have had a great time hanging out. Turned out we had so much in common. Before Cindy, I didn't have someone to call or text whenever I wanted. I was challenged in the area of making friends I guess you can say. I had some issues back in high school that left me scared. So from that time on I avoided the opportunity of making close friendships with other women. I kept every woman I knew and met at arms length.

Around the time I met Cindy, God had been dealing with me about this issue. I knew and told myself to be vulnerable to other women. To me that was scary. I had stuck with those feelings for over 13 years.

So for the last year I have had such a fun time hanging out with my buddy. We have got to enjoy so many things together this past year, being pregnant...having babies....going to church together...joining Maps...sewing...and so much more. Cindy, I love being your best bud. I couldn't ask for a better friend. Thank you for putting up with a friend that has issues. I know it's been tough. I look forward to all the years to come. Thanks buddy!
