These are special friends. They were raised together on Hilltop Trail along with many other special friends. It was a great time. Tim and Jennifer played endlessly with all of the other kids that grew up on a street where you could ride your big wheels on the blacktop. You could run out of the house in the morning and play forever with legos and trucks and jump on trampolines. Moms and dads became best friends. It was easy then. You did not worry if your children did not get home for lunch. You knew your neighbor fed them! It was the best of times. We were friends then and we are even better friends now.
Now our children have children of their own. These are Jennifer and Jessica's beautiful children. Let me introduce Nate, Hannah, Hailey, and J.J.
The moms had the opportunity to meet for lunch last week and the kids came along (kids and now grandkids). Chris and Sharon and I have been friends for what seems like a lifetime. I cannot imagine better buddies. We can go without talking for weeks and when we catch up nothing has changed. It is a comfort zone! Now our children have children and they can be playmates too. A reunion is in the works for this summer. Fun times with the old folks, our kids, and their kids. It makes me wonder where the time went. It also makes me grateful that we have remained friends and we can reunite and it will seem like it was just yesterday. I am so thankful for jobs that kept Jimmy and I stable and in the same area for all of our married years. The events of the last couple of weeks has made it even more important to know that the people in your life are a constant and the memories you have with them are irreplaceable.
