I am not sure but I want to talk to you about the importance of being a good friend and surrounding yourself with good friends. jackson when you were a baby one of the most important people in your life. She was 2 feet tall and still in diapers and was wearing a little peach dress. It was so hard to take you to daycare the first 2 weeks bacause it was the first time someone was going to look after you other than family. I was really scared and you cried so hard when I had to go it broke my heart. Little did I know that there was a cute little girl walking over to you everytime you cried and she wrapped her tiny litte arms around you and she would hold on until you cried. Your teacher Vickie was so overwhelmed because she had never seen anything like it she would tear up. I think the funniest thing about this story is that something we didn't realize was that they would later become our very best friends for the rest of our lives all because of that moment. They will come to be "The Benders" We cherish them for all they bring us and all we bring to them it is a special deep friendship that is unconditional, meaningful, deep friendship who I think you will model all friends from here on in after and that you will always hold everyone including girl freinds to the standard of Emily. She is honest, kind, empathetic, and totally what a friend should be and you are so blessed to have been shown that so early in your life.
Kim has sat at the foot of my bed for 3 years since I was diagnosed with Cancer and cheered me on, been there for me even at 6am in the morning and without judgement or question. Duane is the same to Dad a bond that will never be broken and Griffin and Meaghan are growing up to be as close as the rest of us. It is so lucky that we have found them and we cherish every moment we have with them.
Your Mommy has been very blessed in her life. I hav e great friends. I have all of my friends that I have been re-aquanted with when I got sick. Tina and Vickie came out as soon as they could to spend a weekend here. Auntie Karen who is Jackson's God Mother came out twice just to see us and then when I got sick she ran to my side. Auntie Kelly who I was just blessed to spend the weekend with in Niagra Falls loves you boys so much and misses you so much because she lives so far away. She stays very close with the phone and email and is taking care of her own Mommy who I really hope you get to meet one day because she is such an amazing person and is fighting so hard to stay alive with her own battle with Cancer. She was diagnosed a year after Mommy. She is doing Chemo right now and has lost all of her hair everywhere but is fighting so hard. She has been a HUGE part of Mommy's life. She is like a 2nd Mom to me. She is always there for me to call or write to when I feel like I can't talk to anyone and I am blessed to have her in my life. Auntie kelly and Auntie Karen are forever friends we have been friends for 25 years or more it is quite amazing. Then there is Gita. We had a friendship like no other. Tighter than best friends and more like family. We lived togoether for years off and on and when push came to shove her and I felt like it was her and I against the world and you know what for awhile it was! But sometimes in life you have falling outs with people and we wasted 12 years being mad about something that neither one of us could tell you why now but when you really need someone who was improtant to you you will know they true were true friends because they always come back when you need them. Then there is Sam. You don't know much about Sam and the MacElroys but you may need to call on them in your life and in a second they will be ther for you don't you worry. Sam has been in my lifee in my for as long as I can remember and she still is a staple in my life so I hope you get to meet her one day too.
What I am trying to explain to you is sometimes your family is preoccupied or sick or you feel like you can't go to them well if you think about it and go through my phone book you will see so many people we are surrounded by and hold out your arms and feel the love that surrounds us...
I love you Boys and I love all of my friends and family we are very Blessed!
