One of my dear friends that lives in our neighborhood has recently had some time between jobs and has started tagging along with us on some of our adventures. We've been on hikes in the mountains together, to the swimming pool together, and Tami and I even went to the Opera together. She's started sitting with us at church during Sacrament and my kids love her. We've decided to start calling her Auntie Tami, and it's sweet to see how much my kids adore her.
She recently took a trip to Ireland and came back bearing gifts for me and the kids. A soft lamb puppet for Lucy, an Emerald Fairy in a jar for Lydia, and chocolate shamrocks for Austin and Caleb. She brought me back a small crystal vase from Galway, Ireland.
Tami has been such a blessing to me. She gives me such beautiful perspective on what things are important in life, how to be courageous in face of hard things, and why the things that I am doing do matter. We are in completely different stages of life, but our friendship has budded and grown into a beautiful gift. I'm grateful for that, for her, and for the thoughtful gifts she brought home for us.
