Special Friends
We’ve had a whirlwind past few weeks with Brad’s parents visiting, Flipside (the regional Burningman event) and then a short visit from old friends Bob and Gyee. Bob and I went to high school together in Germany back in the late 80’s – early 90’s and through a lot of time and shared experiences have a built what I think of as a brother and sister relationship. I still remember when he first met Gyee and how much I adored her, and now I think Bob gets a bit jealous sometimes that she and I have become such good friends.
While pregnant with the boys, Brad, Dusty and I all agreed to asking Bob and Gyee to be godparents to the boys. Although they’ve moved away from Texas and on to Massachusetts to be with Bob’s wonderful family, we still talk about them a lot in our home and have their pictures up for the boys to see. It touched my heart beyond words that the boys responded to Bob and Gyee with such enthusiasm and open hearts. I wish I had captured more pictures of their visit but we only had a short time together and really focused on making the most of every second together.
People talk about how true friends are those you don’t talk to every day but can pick right back up with as if it was just yesterday even though it’s been years, and this really is our relationship with Bob and Gyee. Even the boys felt that as they dived into playing and cuddling with them.
I had moments of being chocked up with joy when I saw things like this
