Friends!

After meeting Sarah four years ago, I believe even more that people are brought into our lives for a reason. She and I had similar postpartum experiences. This alone could bind two people together. But then she and her husband asked me to be their birth coach when she was pregnant with her second baby. And then they asked me to be Juniper's Godmother. Now we are REALLY bound together. Unfortunately Brian was laid off from his job and they ended up moving to Wyoming. I was beyond thrilled when she called and said they'd like to drive up to Duluth while they were back in Minnesota.

We met down in Canal Park and it was like we'd seen each other a week ago, not a year ago.

The kids!


My Goddaughter and I!


The girls!


We walked along the Lakewalk and saw the sights. The kids really had fun walking through the water feature.








Brian was kind enough to take the kids for a bit after we ate so Sarah and I could talk. Like the rest of my friends, she is good for my soul. There is always a sense of calm after we talk. When two people have such similar experiences, you can't help but be drawn to them. Sarah understands the things that I've gone through and how I've dealt with them in a way most people can't. I don't have to describe how I feel to her, because she just KNOWS. She came into my life for a reason and I am grateful for that.
