Old Friends Are Better Than Gold!

We have spent very special time this weekend with our long-time friends Sam and Sandy. You probably know someone that is as close to you as Sam and Sandy are to us.

Many years ago, we were in college together. Afterwards, our families went their separate ways, but when we had opportunities to get together, we picked right up as if we lived next door. We have had special times together throughout the years, and we have communicated through phone, emails, Christmas cards, etc.

Our children spent many happy days together long ago, and sometimes they still communicate with each other. They all care what is going on and love to hear about what is happening with each other. During this weekend our son Nick joined us for dinner with Sam and Sandy. It was a treat for him to hear some of the old stories and get caught up on new news. He wrote me to say that it was "so good to be around such special people again."

These are relationships that continue to make a dent in our lives. We all know that we care about what is happening in each other's family's lives. We would all be only a phone call away if help were needed. Nick's right, those are such special people! We cherish their friendship.

Safe travels home, Sam and Sandy, see you again soon!
