Dearest Susie,
You are my one friend I can constantly turn to for inspiration.
You and I have a lot in common, yet oceans separate us.
Our upbringings have so little in common. Our current lives, even less.
Interestingly, or at least, I think so, our priorities now are the same. You value your kids, your relationship with your husband, and your relationship with the One Above.
Me too.
We both work so hard on those things.
You told me once that you cried in front of your kids--you were overwhelmed.
What concerned you about that?
Well, perhaps you scared them.
The All-Powerful Mommy is suddenly not so powerful, and that might be frightening for small children.
When I cry, and I do, I worry about myself. My catharsis. I wonder if there's anything I can do to reduce the stressor that is making me need the catharsis in the first place.
That's when I call you for a boost (when my coffee isn't cutting it).
You're always there.
Supporting the people in your life day after day after day after year.
I'm proud to be your friend and to reap the benefits of being near to such a special person.
