I read once that times of trial tend to bring out your "foxhole friends". Friends that maybe you didn't even realize had your back all of a sudden step up when you need them the most. I've been blessed enough to find several recently and I couldn't be more grateful. One in particular, who I talk to a lot...like a lot, a lot...recently sent me a gift that made my day. It wasn't the gift itself that really lifted my spirits so much as the message. It was a "I am stronger than I thought" shirt from Another Mother Runner. Along with that was a note, transcribed from sweet friend's email by SBS of Another Mother Runner, that I will keep forever. It said, "You will come out stronger for this, if that's even possible. Thank you for your friendship. I'm here if you need me."
Thank you sweet friend for being there to lift me up when I needed it, and thank you to all my foxhole friends who listen, hug, ask what they can do, and ask me how it's going. You are all lights in my times of darkness.
