Pour Your Heart Out...
My best friend is moving. Actually. She moved! It's done. It sucks. She isn't far. We can still get together. Just not as often as we are used to. Our sons are best friends too. And when you are 5 and 6 it's hard to understand why you just can't go to your friends house.
It's funny how life works. We met a long time ago actually. About one month before she married my cousin. My Grandma had a stroke. I went to Utah to see my Grandma one last time. It was hard. And it was just another notch in what was a miserable vacation. The whole family was there. It was amazing. My cousin was there with his bride to be. I only remembered her name. I would be pretty sad if I forgot a name like EMILY! And who knew that just eight years later that same Emily would soon become my best friend.
I knew when they moved here in 09 that it was temporary. But I was excited still to have a friend, to have family, and to have someone for my son. Two years isn't long. I told myself. So it is good they haven't gone far. It still makes me sad though. No more walks. But thank goodness for technology. We will get together still. But my best friend has moved. :(
She may have moved, but I will see her next week and again next month. So it's not so horrible. But still...my best friend moved.

Glad you get to see her again soon!
The hardest thing for me when I moved was leaving my best friend. :(
You two are so cute.
(stopping by from PYHO)
How far is she?
If my bff moved I would crawl into a hole and die. :( Well, cry.
it's good you still live close enough to see each other though!
My BF moved 2 years ago across the country to Georgia - UGH!! So far!
Thank for you for your friendship- I am so glad we got to live by you even if it was for just over two years.
Yeah, I'm having to explain that whole "why did she move away?" thing to my 5-year old... he misses his cousin like crazy!
I have moved many, many times (enough that I think I will never have a local BFF) - and I will say that it is really nice that technology has changed to the point where we can skype & text one another. I know some older women who were separated by a move a long time ago when they had to write LETTERS and stamp them. CRAZY!
Love this post!
