This weekend, we took family pictures, Big C's 3 year old pictures (yes, a little late) and Baby C's 1 year old pictures. As I was getting Baby C ready, I grabbed a little blue box ( how symbolic that both she and I got our first blue boxes from you!) and unwrapped it for the first time with my baby girl. Reading the note and seeing the gift brought tears to my eyes. As I put the bracelet on Baby C, tears started to stream down my face. I hope and pray that when Baby C grows older, she finds a true soul-mate friend as I have found in you. No amount of distance or time has tarnished our friendship and I will forever be grateful that you have allowed me to share in your life. I can't wait for the day in which I get to introduce my daughter to you. My heart aches with how much I miss you!
Much love my special, dear friend.
