Amazing Women

I am so blessed to have a number of amazing women in my life.

I have two best friends. I met one when I was in seventh grade, and the second when I was in eighth grade. Lately I have not been able to see either as often as I'd like, and tonight both were supposed to come over to hang out.

Well, this morning my toddler woke up with a fever. Once I realized that he was ill I gave him ibuprofen (generic, given the current state of things), and I figured things would be fine. Well, just as my friends were supposed to arrive I discovered that my toddler's fever had skyrocketed, and I ended up canceling with them to take the monster to the doctor.

Amazing woman #1, my mom, ran over to help me with the boys, and offered to keep the little one while I ran out with the big one.

Amazing woman #2, a best friend, offered to do the job mom already volunteered for, and then popped over to say hi to mom while I was gone.

Amazing woman #3, other best friend, popped into the exam room bearing my favorite coffee and two cookies for the monster. She kept me company while we waited for the doctor, and then ran out to meet up with other best friend.

Having such caring people in my life is amazing. Nights like tonight confirm that.
