about a friend

Our lives are filled with beautiful and wonderful people.  People who touch our lives and help us want to be better.  It is one of the great blessings.  Every once in a while someone comes along who is extraordinary and makes you remember those blessings taken for granted.

Spencer (her online pseudonym) has become one of those special people in our lives, not only is she a best friend but she has become a sister.  She walks in the door and her name can be heard echoing through the house.  She laughs at the silly stories, comforts when there is sadness,  helps around the house (a mother's dream come true), and even endures an impromptu photo shoot. 

Now as a mother, you pray for a friend like Spencer for your daughter.  This is the point in the post where I wax emotional, go on and on about her amazing qualities (which are many), perhaps be even more embarrassing than I already am. This would also be the point in the post where my proof reader rolls her eyes because she can't believe she is related to me, but waxing emotional is who I am so I'm going with it.

So darling Spencer we hope to get you home by curfew, not teach you too many bad habits, and  hopefully the baby boys will stop streaking though the house when you come over.

Tell those two beautiful girls that friendships like that are RARE and priceless, and to never let time, distance, or a stinky boy come between them! :)

Such a beautiful tribute to my sweet daughter. It makes me teary eyed. (Such beautiful pictures of them both too.) What a treasure they are. I love them! You have no idea the blessing your family has been to us. All I can say is THANKS for teaching us all you have and DITTOS to all you have said. "Manth" is such a blessing to us. Prayers are answered. Our job is to remember to ask specifically for what we need. HE is just waiting for us to knock. Thanks Allison for your goodness and example!!!
