I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a good friend. Unfortunately I have been lacking, in a major way, the qualities of a good friend. Fortunately though I have had one good friend everywhere we have lived, despite my lack of being a really good friend in return. I don't know how that worked out. I guess that is the beauty of a great friend; they are wonderful 'just because.' This is one of my new goals: be the kind of friend someone wants to have.
Just one(I could share more) example of an amazing friend: Sarah Roylance. This woman is a saint. When we moved in she came a couple of different times and helped clean, unpack, and get settled. She is easy to talk to; she listens. She remembers birthdays (one of my worst traits,-I'm working on a birthday calendar). She came and spent an entire day helping me make and bottle applesauce, JUST BECAUSE SHE IS NICE. She is one of the friends I would like to emulate. It doesn't hurt that both of her girls are exactly 10 days older than both of my kids, and that we share similar interests. :)
I don't have a picture of just Sarah, but this is our crazy crew when we are together anyway, so it is probably more fitting. The oldest girl is Sarah's niece.
