Make New Friends
But keep the old
One is silver
and the other gold.
These friendships speak the truth- Emma met Haley her Kindergarten year and they became fast friends. They see who can run the fastest in the P.E. sprints, they share their lunches and play "flying gerbils" on recess. They have play dates and movie afternoons. Sadly, this fall Haley will be attending a different school and Emma will have lost another best friend. This was taken at Kindergarten Graduation.
Grace is Emma's golden friend. They have been friends since Preschool when they attended First Steps as 3 year olds. They lived just a few doors down from one another and even though Gracie now lives in South Carolina, the miles mean nothing. Within just moments of reacquainting, it's like no time as passed between these two. Emma writes letters to Grace and draws pictures in her room of the 2 of them. Even though her local friends are here and present, Grace will be her best friend and it would make a mother's heart happy to watch these girls grow up together. I think those oldest of friends are the real treasures in our lives and as we mature and realize how important friends are, only then can we really appreciate watching our children forming the same bonds.

Truer words were never spoken. True friends are there for you and don't need to be close by to be in yours or their thoughts. They should be cherished.
