Maybe its the fact that I have been to so many funerals for family and friends this week, or maybe the women in my life have influenced the way I view the importance of relationships, but I love spending time with my girls. Yesterday I spent the afternoon just hanging out with them at the mall. I remember the day when I realized my mom was more then just a mom, but also my friend. Another moment I will never forget is when my sister and I became best of friends. We try to talk with each other at least once a week and most weeks we are on the phone with our mom every other day or so. I hope that in some ways I have passed this tradition down to my daughters. Actually I know I have, because I see it each day in them with their bestfriends ( who happen to be their cousins ). These four young ladies call themselves "C-Unit ( the C stands for cousins ). They do everything together, and most weekends you will find them together at my home or at one of the other mom's homes. The best part about this is that I had that exact same relationship with their moms. It makes me proud to see the care that exist between them. I hope to see that same bond in my granddaughter's one day.
