Still makes me sad...

Although my best friend and her family moved away 10 months ago, I still miss them. Most days I'm fine (we still chat on the phone almost daily). However, for whatever reason, some days are worse than others. There are times when I would do anything to drop by her house while running errands. Or to call her up and invite the family over for pizza, (and coffee of course!) I can't believe how much I took her for granted. I get sad when my son comes in from outside and says, "Nobody wants to play ball." I know someone who would love to play with him. I never fully realized how wonderful it is to have children playing with mine who I adore and being able to trust that my kids were with good friends when they were all together. I know that life goes on and that things change, but today after talking on the phone with her, I wished very much that I could turn back time a little bit. I find it so very interesting that throughout my life, I've made many friends, but over time most have drifted away. Now I wonder, did they fade or did I? I'm so thankful for good friends. Near or far... Of course I know that she will read this, but the most wonderful thing is, I know she won't be surprised. Miss you!
