Day 16 - Friends

I’m thankful for friends.

 

I thankful for work friends.  Without these people, the days would drag and I’d definitely be pretty miserable at the office.  They brighten my day and make me laugh.  They listen to me ramble about the kids and let me be more than just a mom.

 I’m thankful for best friends.  I really don’t know where I’d be without my friends Julie and Bridget.  We’ve been friends since high school and though we don’t see each other often, we remain close.  They have been there for me when I needed them most and I hope I’m able to be there for them.  They accept me for who I am and yet inspire be to be better.

 I thankful for family friends, particularly our forever friends and neighbors (but really they are family) the Buechel’s.   This family is the greatest.  They have been there for us through thick and thin.  31 years ago my family moved in next door to theirs and the rest is history.  They were at the hospital there with us when my mom was ill and they have bent over backwards to be there for us while she recovers.  They even threw Holly a little sprinkle on Sunday.  They are amazing and I’m so thankful for them.

 I’m thankful for friends of the past who I don’t really see anymore and friends of the future that I have yet to meet.
