No, they have been pretty hush-hush over that and I haven't heard anything new. I'm almost afraid to ask.
Nope, the crappy is that a very good friend, whose children and mine are friends, and I'm not fearful of their influence, who lives kinda far away, is moving even further away, but now I'll even be bereft of phone calls. I can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of real (I know in person) friends: 1 lives in florida, 1 has a baby with heart issues so is very busy, and now the other is moving long distance. I am feeling very lonely, and pitying myself. I'll snap out of it shortly.
*sigh* I seem to be having the same sort of day. Except MY friend is way up in Ohio.. and not even family around. I'm going to go find some chocolate now, and wipe my eyes, and deal with cranky children.
Bonnie, you know what? I struggle with this too. Sometimes the internet makes the world seem small, interacting with like-minded individuals every day through blogs, etc. but really, likeminded people are hard to come by in geographical terms. For me too.
I think the only solution to your (and my) problem is to move to PA. and STAT. So start packing.
One great benefit to long distance friends, though, is MAIL so....I will start you a letter TODAY so you will be reminded of one little blessing of far away friends. Because I consider you one of my greatest.
Oh, I'm so sorry! I am, however, relieved that it wasn't bad news about the baby you mentioned previously...that was my first guess. My second guess was that you had had a miscarriage. I didn't have a third guess!
Regardless...losing friendships IS hard...even if you're not really losing the friendship, just putting some distance in it. Sometimes I just sigh and long for heaven where we'll never have to say goodbye to dearly-loved ones again.
Welcome to Crabapple Pond! I'm Bonnie; I'm 33, wife of 9 years to B., and momma to Honey-8 yrs., Biscuit-6 yrs., Muffin- 4 yrs., Beans-2 yrs., and Sprout- born late summer 2012.
We live on a small wanna-be "back-yard farm" in the rural Mid-West, and have a few acres with-you guessed it- crabapple trees and a pond.
I am a born again Christian, and I strive to serve Christ through my family.
God is good and life is grand.

Have any bandannas? They make fabulous hankies for these sorts of days.
Has this anything to do with two posts down? I forgot to write that I was praying for them, but I am.
Sorry for the crummy-bits and praising God for the happy parts. May they be a balm to you.

Happy thoughts to you today
I'll be your friend! But we live kinda far away too. We should get together this summer. What do you think?
(((((HUGS))))))
