As some of you know I have 5, yes I said 5 SIL's.....well, 8, but the other 3 are my BIL's wives and I don't see them very often.....I am pretty close to most of these five women.....the oldest one I consider my closest friend....we spend alot of time together....the other 4 I see and have fun with, one is in IOWA, so I don't see her much, and another one is in PA.....but I see her almost once a month...so out of the five, I am semi close with 3.....one of them is very hard, on the outside...brash and tell it like it is...not warm and fuzzy, but she is the one who always seems to come through for me.....:bigcry: I get choked up as I type this....she is not the one I would have expected to be there for me, but she always seems to be......the one....like yesterday, I had the eye doctor appt. she watched the kids at her daycare, and then lent me here closet for the trip....I borrowed three great dresses, and she told me over and over, that I looked fantastic....coming from her, its a great compliment.....last year when we were really down on our lucky, money wise, she stuffed money into my ds's pocket for new school clothes.....nothing that I can say can tell her how much her thoughtfulness and caring means to me.....I am writing her a little thank you note and sending it out to her today...she is not one for kissy, kissy, mushy talk so the thank you note will be perfect....I just feel bad, that I never think of her as the one I am closest too, but she out of all of them, would litteraly give me the shirt off her back.....I am truely blessed to have her in my life, and I know she isn't just being nice because I am married to her baby brother....
Anyone else surprised at where you find true friendship and caring? just wondering if it was just me....thanks for letting me put this into words here....:tinysmile
