A couple of weeks ago, my bestie Lisa D. came to town with family in tow.\u00a0 This is a big deal.\u00a0 BIG.\u00a0 It had been almost exactly 5 years since we’d laid eyes on each other. It was also the first time we’d each met each others sons and it was just generally way, way, way too long between visits.\u00a0 I was missing her something fierce.<\/p>\n

Her stay was short.\u00a0 But I soaked up every damn second that I could.\u00a0 Catching up.\u00a0 Filling each other in.\u00a0 Laughing our butts off.\u00a0 When you don’t have a lot of time together, you don’t dwell.\u00a0 You soak. \u00a0And in my case, you smother.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

As much as I cherished our few hours together, watching our littles fall in love with each other might have been my favourite part.\u00a0 Although both boys had never met and the last time Jaia and Pearl saw each other, Pearl was taking her first steps, they became fast friends.\u00a0 And by fast, I mean within 10 minutes the girls had disappeared upstairs and the boys were already trading (potty) jokes in the sun room and neither pair showed up until food was served.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This photo makes my heart grow 10 sizes.\u00a0 It reminds me that though there are miles between us, that our time together melts them away.<\/p>\n

Make the most of the time you have with the ones you love.\u00a0 Breathe in the moments.\u00a0 Snap the pictures.\u00a0 Hug extra long at the hellos and the goodbyes.\u00a0 Tell them you love them. \u00a0Then tell them again.<\/p>\n

The visits might be few and far between, but it’s making the most of the time when you are together that really matters.<\/p>\n

Missing you guys so much already…Until next time, sweet friends…<\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n
