Long Time Friends


 We've been friends with the McBrooms for around 31 years. I met them when their oldest daughter was learning to walk.   I got ready at their house the night James and I got married.  Kim was with me when our first baby was born.  I have learned more from her than any other person.  I watched her with her kids and learned.  She named a daughter after me, I named a daughter after her.  Now we share grand-daughters. 
She is my bosom buddy.  She's one in a million.
 

We've done lots of things with them.  Ate with them, cried with them, laughed with them, played games, shared holidays, were members of the same church...........most of all we have loved them.  They have been there for us, just a phone call away. 
 

We have gone through many seasons with each other.  Little bitty kids, middle kids, big kids, no kids.  I've never had another friendship such as Kim and I have. She is the most special friend in the world to me.  Our husbands are just like each other.  Mr. Commands and Independent Baptist from the top of their heads to the tips of their toes.  Kim and I both knew what we could expect to do with each other and never expected anything out of each other that wasn't *fit* to happen.  Our boundaries were and still are the same, and we're very happy to live within them being friends.


What your own husband thinks of your friends makes a really big difference.  James always knew that if I was doing something with Kim, it was sensible and totally OK.  Surely her husband has thought the same of me.   The more agreement you have with somebunny, the better the fellowship.  For 31 years we have had great agreement and great fellowship.


When the Lord gave us the McBroom family to be our friends, He gave us more than we could have ever asked for.  Kim is the kind of friend everybunny dreams of having.....but she is reality to me.  I miss her every day.  Kim has been a GREAT big part of my life and I'm very thankful for her.

Just a little jealous here and VERY happy for you both! I enjoyed reading Kim's description of your friendship and activities. God bless you both.

(I'm really curious about that birthday present that took a year to make!)

I kept a journal for a year.....and of course thought of her every time I put an entry. She has a year of my life in writing.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
