Last week I took a few extra days after our Michigan wedding to go visit my dear friend Topaz. She is in central Michigan and while Eric went back to the city I took a few days to be with her and  her family with now four children!! Topaz, you are such a good Mom. You encourage constantly, stand firm when needed and seem to guide your home with a faithful loving hand that is so admirable. I loved our 2 am chat and sometimes miss the good old days when that happened more often.   I love your children. Each with their own spirit and growing up in a home of love.

I remember sitting with you at your pool seven years ago scared when you asked me if I knew Eric was "the one" and I replied timidly , Yes.  I remember the day we were on our way to get pizza in your car when you burst that you were pregnant with your first.

I love you sweet friend, your sweet children and your amazing spirit. Thanks for having me play in your back yard for three days.

Sweet Gabby the oldest.
