Long Distance Freinds

Today some very good friends of ours came up for a visit. Although they are from New Mexico, they now split their time between Argentina and Montana, so we rarely see them. In fact, the last time they visited as a whole family was nearly two years ago. In spite of this, out daughters, who are about six months apart, are constantly talking about each other. When I told Tessie they were coming to visit she literally jumped for joy.

From the second they arrived, the girls were inseparable. There was no big show of reunion, they just started playing imeadiatly. They played dress up, puzzles, dolls, and roasted marshmallows together. They ended the night in the same bed, hugging each other fiercely. Although the shared bed didn't last all night, I was extremely impressed by their bond. At such a young age, I am amazed at the connection they have, and at the friendship that had stretched over time and distance. I don't think they know how beautifully lucky they are.
