My sister's been visiting from out of state and we had a little reunion today. We met up with the woman who used to take care of us and her daughter. It was crazy to introduce my daughter to my former daycare provider. A little more time displasia.
She is now a grandmother of 5 and I am a mother of 2. Her Daughter "Bell" was my sister's best friend when she was little. I cried laughing at the stories of what the two of them got up to. Apparently, when one of them would do something wrong and an adult would confront them they would hug each other. United we stand, priceless.
It occurred to me that Jess and Bell were the Boo and Roo (Riley and her best friend) of their time. I'm so glad Riley has her best friend to get into trouble with like her Aunt did. All these years later and they picked up right where they left off.
It took me a while to realize that one day I would be sitting at a table with adult versions of Boo and Roo laughing at stories about the silly things they did. Whoah...
I want to be at that table laughing, too. Of course, I'll probably be senile and laughing for no apparent reason. But just let me. :-)
