Good Old Friends

We met some wonderful friends 25 years ago when we first Carly to the doctors for her hand.  When I met Shanny I knew all would be okay.  She was a cute little girl dressed in a pink ruffly dress and she had her prosthesis on. 

When Carly was born the thing that hurt the most was the thought of anyone treating her badly because she didn't have a hand.  But that all changed when I saw Shanny. Shanny was a darling little 2 year old.  I knew then that Carly would be okay.

Shanny's family and ours became good friends. We shared many good times but as time would have it we moved away and lost touch. 

I sent a Christmas card to the MacMillans that found it's way to them since they had moved.

Susan (my friend and Shanny's mom) emailed me and we started to catch up on 20 lost years.

When we vacationed this summer in California one of the things I was determined to do was to visit the MacMillans.  What a treat it was to catch up, visit and renew old friendships.  The kids didn't really remember to much of each other but they became friends all over again. 

So good to find old friends!
