One of my
closest mom friends was out of town when one of my children had his birthday
party, so she and her family were not able to attend. But she promised my son a special
celebration.
Recently my
friend invited us over for dinner to celebrate my son's birthday. She greeted us at the door wearing a Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtle t-shirt -- complete with a cape! (My son is a big fan of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles and his favorite color is green.)
She had prepared a make-your-own-pizza evening for the children (the
Ninja Turtles love pizza) and a viewing of the latest Ninja Turtle episode. The plates were green and there was a
delicious chocolate birthday cake complete with a Ninja Turtle on top!
It is no wonder that the other day,
my son referred to my friend as his friend. But isn't that what friends are? Special people who pay attention to what is
important to us and who show us through their kindness that they care. In doing so, they create memories that last
forever.
