Long Lost Friends

A while back I wrote a post about my old friend, Cassi with whom I had lost touch about 12 years ago. She meant the world to me and I lost her, I let her go.

After searching and searching for her I finally found her - she has a website and through that I found her on Facebook and sent her a message in which I apologized for being such a jerk and asking for another chance.

at Cassi's apartment many, many moons ago!

She wrote me back and we've been in close contact ever since!!!  She missed me too and our friendship that had such deep roots. She even started a private blog for us to write life messages to each other - she titled it "Long Lost Friends," and that is the perfect name for it.  We were long lost, but I am so happy to say that now we are found! We write about the daily things happening in our lives and talk to each other about some of the deep stuff too. It's such a grand blessing!

In August I'm taking a trip to visit her for a week - I'll get to meet her husband and her two little boys and I absolutely can't wait!!! I'll also get to visit with her mom and step-dad, whom I think the world of.  I'm over the moon excited to have this second chance with Cassi. Honestly it was like no time at all had passed.  I mean, obviously we had a lot of catching up to do with what has gone on in our lives for the last decade, but our friendship was so much the same - the way we talked and could talk for hours and hours, just like in the past.

She is such a special person and now to get to know her with the element of Mother added in has been absolutely incredible. She's such a wonderful mother to her two little boys - she loves them fiercely and takes such great care of them. I always knew she'd be a marvelous mom and it's so fun to see her in that role.

I feel so lucky to have her back in my life and to share the things that we have been sharing with each other. I'm looking forward to sharing many more years of close friendship with her.

My wish for you today is lifelong friends.
