3 years ago my best friend pulled her UHaul truck out of my drive way. She was moving back to PA and I will never forget the tears that fell that day how much it hurt to say goodbye to her and her son. Jadon doesn't make Friends easy and Caleb and Jadon were the best of friends. She left with a promise that she would be back in a year for a visit. That year came and went and then another and another. On Sat the 29th her plane finally touched back down in Fl! Finally my friend and her son were back. The last nine days have been amazing and busy. She got to finally meet Jaxson, Jadon and Caleb were finally back together and I could once again wrap my arms around my friend. The last 9 days have gone by so fast, Seeing Jadon (who struggles socially) play with Caleb, laugh, heck even when they were fight was music to my ears. Caleb loves Jaxson and Jaxson was pretty fond of him too! Seeing her finally holding Jaxson was amazing! I was devastated to watch Jadon hug his friend goodbye today and cry as Caleb walked out that door again, heck we were all crying!
Today has been a tough day for me. Saying goodbye to my friend. Sometime Its hard to make friends when your an angel mom! WE are parents worst nightmares!
on top of it all other things just are not working out like I had always hope that they someday would, days like today when I really could use her here cause my heart is hurting, she is on a plane somewhere between Atlanta and PA.
"Friends are like stars, you don't always see them but you know they are there." She sounds like one of those amazing friends. I'm sorry you're separated by distance and that things aren't working out how you hoped- I hope you're ok.
Lots of hugs,
Lauren
Awww....I'm so sorry that you're separated from your friend. Maybe Skype would help ease the heartache. I know it's nothing like a real hug, but at least you and Jadon could see your friends. Hopefully you'll be able to work out a trip a bit sooner than the last time or at least meet in the middle. Hey--maybe she could come to DC!!
Thank you both, I miss her so much the next month and a half are the hardest leading up to Trinity's birthday! Luckily she will be moving back soon! I cant wait! And I cant wait to see you all at SU!

Sending you hugs!! You are so right, making friends is not always easy. Especially when they are not angel moms. It's very hard to find people who understand you and are willing to be there for you when you are grieving when they have not personally been there. I hope that your friend finds her way back soon for you and for Jadon.
Got beens yesterday that she may be here sooner than we all thought! She was offered a job locally (even though she wasn't looking) from her old company and someone put in their notice. So she may be here in 3/4 weeks! Super excited!
