what I wished for

Yesterday brought with it a fair amount of hustling, but to a glorious end.  Tracy and HSF and I finally finally got to spend a real-life evening together.  With all our progeny.  It was kind of what I'm banking on heaven being like.  That would motivate me to be good for at least the rest of this lifetime.







I can't, with absolute certainty, remember how we all found each other.  I know I found Tracy's blog from a google search right before my first pregnancy, and HSF and I found each other as readers of Tracy's blog when we realized we had the same due date.  And now they're some of my very closest, dearest, and best friends.  It's a funny thing, because I haven't been very proficient at making and keeping "blog" friends since these two.  But I suppose God knew how very very much I needed them.  He's pretty awesome that way.



Next time (because there must be a next time) I shall suffer less from a Mary/Martha syndrome and we shall all chat and visit and talk until the end.
