Good Friends!

I am so grateful that Abby has such good friends. I remember one of the first weeks we were here. We went to a ward party and Abby wanted so bad to go and play with some kids in the sand box. I told her that was fine, and then watched her from a distance. She ran over so excited and ready to make some new friends. As I watched she asked a little girl if she could play with her and the little girl said “NO”. I watched as Abby’s faced turned into a frown and needless to say I was on the verge of tears. I thought to myself what have we done…we took her away from all of her cousins, friends and grannies’ and pas’ and brought her to a place with nothing familiar. In that moment I felt like the worst mom. But as I continued to watch she just kept asking other kids and before I knew it she was having a ball. I am so grateful for Abby. She has been such a trooper to move away from everything she loves. I love her so much!! And we love all of her darling friends!
