Mom Friendships

I've long ago decided that it is IMPOSSIBLE to stay close to everyone you've ever loved or cared about in your life. Seasons of life change and, as your family grows, you find yourself more absorbed by them with less time for outside friendships.

I planned to stay close to my three best friends from high school my whole life and now we only communicate by Christmas card. It does make me sad, but I am still grateful for the influence they had in helping me become who I am. I don't have time to worry about it and hope that maybe we can renew our friendships someday. Right now my best friends are the ones I car pool with and run into at PTA meetings. It's kind of strange in a way -- but it is the season of life.
