It's Good To Have Friends

 I remember a time where I found myself so desperate for friendship,  I was picking up strangers in the grocery store. I would try to befriend anyone who looked or talked like me. 

As a newcomer to a country where I didn't speak the language, I felt alone and isolated. I wanted friends so badly that I was willing to accept just about anyone. 

My friends came eventually and I am so thankful for them. We had one main thing in common, we are all moms. And from that commonality, we were able to form a bond that has lasted these 13 years.

I love our get togethers, now fewer and farther apart than before but so refreshing and fun when they do happen.  It just reminds me how important friendships can be.
