Celebrate Friendship!

I remember last year my nephew decided to accompany me to pick up my kids from school. While we were slowly driving to the dismissal area he noticed that a lot of the moms will either say hi from their cars or approach mine and he asked how it was possible I knew or had such a good relationship with my kids’ friends’ moms.  That never happened to him while he was at school, and it was only a year before that he graduated high school. I explained to him that there are a lot of parents involved in this school and I’ve had the chance to meet wonderful people who I have become friends with since his cousins started in Pre-K.

And been February the international recognized Friendship month made me think of all the great moms I have met over the last 7 years at this Academy. One of them came only two years ago and even though during that time we never had the chance to meet, this year she has become not just an acquaintance but my best friend.  She is so thoughtful and caring that on Valentine’s Day she had a dozen roses to give away to teachers and friends and there was a pink one kind of withered already that she didn’t want to give to anyone but I said “Oh, don’t worry, I don’t mind keeping it so you can give the other ones away”. Well, the next day she brought me a whole dozen for myself, which got me by surprise, how nice! Now I have a garden of roses at home… too bad I don’t have a big vase so I have to use the small ones I have.

  

                               

And that’s not all, ‘the most recognized mother at school’, who is very nice and detailed-oriented made a lunch reservation at P.F. Chang’s yesterday for a few of us. What a great time we had, it was all laughing and gossiping, I even got the chance to spilled my glass of water all over the table, not that I meant to, but hey if we are not sharing this lunch with the kids at least someone have to act like one, don’t you think? She also gave each of us a beautiful bracelet as a token of her friendship.

I can’t forget to mention ‘Kardashian’, how we like to call her (if you meet her you’ll know what I mean) always ready to help and take action… And the rest that will always be there when you need them… (Sorry my eyes are just watering). It will take me a few pages to describe all of them and their great qualities. It is really nice to spend time with your friends, making jokes, laughing and having a blast! Thank you for been part of my life!
