Sweet Friendship


Trent & Gabe March 2008



Trent became friends with Gabe when he was three years old at his pre-school.  It was a friendship between two little boys that turned into a great friendship between two families.  Their family is very dear to us to say the least.  They were the first friends to arrive at our doorstep after the tornado, bringing the kids treats and food and offering to watch the children while we tried to get things put back together. They have helped us move in and out of homes. They have celebrated, births, birthdays, new pets and new homes with us. They have watched us cry and watched us smile, and supported us through it all.  Most often our time together has been simple, letting the kids play and feeding the kids a box of macaroni and cheese or frozen chicken fingers when they got hungry.  It is that simplicity of our friendship that I love the most.  They are the kind of friends that you don't have to impress you just have to be yourself.  I can call and say "do you want to come over?" and that is all the plans that we need.  They are our friends that have became our family and we love them so much.
