There was a poem once that said something like New Friends are silver old friends Gold. Or maybe that was the other way around. Anyhow, you get the jist, and I think that is so true.
Today, I got together with my very old childhood friend Monica. It was so nice. I mean, you would think since we have not seen each other in many years that it would be akward, or pressured. But it was nothing like that. It was just same old Monica. It just felt normal, right to be hanging out with her. I mean, who else knows so much about the real you. For me, no one other than my Sister and then my BFF- but we have only known each other for 16 years. It is not the same as your childhood friend ya know.
She had a beautiful daughter who I will not mention her name, as Monica and her hubby are leary about the online stuff. But for those of you who know me well, it was the name I originally wanted to use for Maddie.
Anyhow, we took the kiddos to the mall and let them play in the playscape. They had a blast. It was Maddie's first time someplace like that. On the way from lunch to the playscape, the girls were riding side by side in their strollers and they were HOLDING HANDS! It was the cutest thing ever. They didn't let go the entire way to the playscape! So cute! It is pretty funny to me. Her daughter looked just like she did as a kid, so it is kinda like little mini us playing together.
I promise you one thing. My Mom is smiling in Heaven knowing we got together, that our babies got along so well, and just at how cute and sweet her daughter was, and how much she looked just like Monica!

Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold.
HA! I remember this from when I was a brownie way back in the day. I too have a childhood friend (who, ironically I was in Brownies with) that I just recently hung out with and thought it was going to be awkward and totally wasn't. Funny how that happens. That is the sweetest thing ever that Maddie and that girl were holding hands!
This old friend is going to be in Canton for the Thanksgiving holiday and has every intention of coming to see you & those sweet babies so you better make yourself available :)
