Friendz - How Many of Us Have Them?

Friends... ones we can depend on!!! Let's be friends. Does
anyone remember this Whodini song from the '80s? I love
to see my kids with their special friends. We can always
depend on Hadley to knock on the door with a big smile on
her face: "Can Luke play?" It's hard to say no to that grin.
We can always count on Reiley to be as sweet as gumdrops,
literally humming a tune throughout her time with us. We
count on sweet Ellie to be friends with everyone she sees.
Today in the cafeteria at school, I watched as she called out
the names of everyone she knew as they passed by. It didn't
matter their age or gender. "Hey Sierra! Kala - hi! There's
Finn. FINN! (running to give him a hug.) Mom, Blaire will
come in through that door. Hi Blaire!" And we can always
count on Luke to want to be in the middle of it all.
We thank God for friends.
