once again. I got to chat with my best friend Abby last night for quite a while. Not the same as being with her, but just what I needed for now. She's in Florida working with NMSI, so visits are quite rare. Hopefully she'll be able to take a little vacation to Indiana around Christmas so we'll be able to get together.
I think you know a best friend when you can spend years apart, and when you get together, it's like there was never any distance. That's Abby for me. We were college roommates. I am convinced God brought us together, but we had a lot of difficult times. If you would have asked me then if I considered Abby my best friend, I probably would have said no just because of all of the stuff we went through. But now, without a doubt, she is the one I miss more than anyone... the one who gets me no matter what I'm facing... the one I know is praying for me without even needing to ask for it. I consider her an aunt to my children even though they barely know her (Josiah hasn't met her yet) and such a blessing in my life even from hundreds of miles away.
I look forward to our next visit... for her to see my spirited Jenna and my sweet Josiah and to see what we'll end up baking this time!
So Abby, this post is for you. I love you my sweet friend!
