Hey, what’s this…it’s nearly July and April’s topic is still up? What’s with these people? I’ll tell you what’s with us…Leslie was promoted to a higher and tougher position and has little time or energy to spare (what with her three, 3-and-under) and Shannon (myself) has had some problems. I have some personal problems, marital problems, computer problems…and a few health problems with my twins. But here I am, about to introduce a new Topic of the Month. This first part is a tough one, so bear with me please.
I have a confession to make. In “Talking to Myself,” I shared with you how Leslie and I met. We’ve become the best of friends in this past year. In fact, I truly can credit her with saving me from falling into the very depths of twinsanity. That said, my confession is this: I recently did something that was very hurtful to Leslie. I never intended to hurt her but I knew when I did this “thing” that it would hurt her if she knew. And she knows. I tried to explain, and apologized profusely with my heart in my hands. It was not enough. I should be placed in stocks and left for public scrutiny…with Leslie flogging me in between all her other “duties.” But Leslie will hear none of this. She tells me that it’s okay, that our friendship is still in good standing. I feel like the world’s worst friend. At the same time, I feel so grateful not to have lost her because of this. Thank you, Les. And once again, I am sorry from the bottom of my heart.
That said, I would like to ask those of you who are still with us…waiting very patiently, I might add…to share with the rest of us your stories of friendships that have evolved from your becoming/being a mom of twins. Tell us how these friendships came to be and what they mean to you. Tell us what these friends do that make them so special. Do you spend time together? Are they other moms of twins that you share that common bond with? Or do you just know that when you are your wits end, you can pick up the phone and there will be that person on the other end who understands perfectly. Let’s hear it…a celebration of friendship and a reminder of some of the forgotten blessings that we have.
Come on, visit **our forum and share your friends with us.
