Hello, my scrappin' friends....
as I was looking through old photos of my 7 year old - I realized that I had a TON of pics of my daughter and a friend that she has had since she was two (her mother and I have become very close these past years) It occurred to me that a 5 year friendship for a 7 year old is a long time. And further more, I suddenly became worried about how much longer they would be friends as they got older. You know how kids can be - especially girls - once they get to be 10 or so they really start migrating to little groups....and I worry - yet accept - that this may happen.
So with that, I have decided to do a Scrap Book of JUST these two girls. It will start at age 2 .... and I will continue to add to it through the years as long as their friendship will allow me to....WHO KNOWS? I may be adding pics of them together for HS graduation ---- we never know.
I've written this letter to the girls for the first page of the book - and I want your true, honest opinion. I don't want it to sound pessimistic - but I want it to be honest and true to what usually happens down our road/paths of life.
....here it is....I BAWLED when I wrote it.
A Story of Friendship
Dear Gaby and Torrie,
Enclosed in this book you will find captured memories of Birthday Parties, Christmas Holidays, Celebrations, and the Early Childhood of two beautiful, vivacious, and curious little girls.
The purpose of this book is not only for you to be able to look back at these moments as growing friends, but also to acknowledge the reality that friendships from our Early Childhood Years sometimes fade as individuality develops and independence grows. We, your parents, understand that going your seperate ways may be in your future, but we want you to remember the true friendship that you had as little ones. We hope that you take with you the meaning of friendship that you have learned from eachother. With this said, it is our hopes that your ever growing friendship allows us to continue to add to this book through the years. We wish for you a life long friendship that will continue to grow with faith, love, trust and happiness.
All Our Love,
Mommy and Daddy
