Friendship!!

I have seen a lot of things in my 35 years, have had lots of people tell me they are my friend or are there for me, but in the last what has been almost 2 years I have been surrounded by friendship, love, and support from a special group of people that I hold dear to my heart. I consider these people part of the family and if at any time if I knew they needed me and if God willing I could be there for them I would. As I sit here writing this I am simply overwhelmed by their love and support!! I am talking about the principal, teachers, and staff at Hilham Elementary!! I truly believe these are my families angels on earth!!

For some this may seem odd, but these people treat my boys like they are theirs, are there for me and my family in ways in to which there are not words. I was raised by an extremely independent woman who never ask for help was the one always helping. My husband says I am the same way, pride is my weakness. It is hard for me to ask for help so when I do I am really desperate. With this group at school, they offer and they ask but even though I never tell them I need help they still do it. They cook meals for my family, help us create wonderful family memories, that I know my boys will cherish forever. I am without words or gestures as to how to repay such kindness and love.  I know that my life is in God's hands but I also know that with all the problems that I have my eternal life will probably come sooner rather than later. That being said I had told someone I was praying that if it did happen I was praying for it to happen like the beginning of summer so the boys could process without worrying about school. Now I know that know matter when my boys will be surrounded by school because these angels I know will make sure that my boys are always OK, and that makes me so very grateful and appreciative!!

So as to my title Friendship, sometimes friends become family!! I don't believe family means a blood connections just a true loving and caring for the people in your family!! So for Hilham Elementary I love you all and thank you all and you are our Family!!
