Roen, Cami, and Honey

We all have those friendships that start as little children

and continue through our lives.

Keeping them current seems hard and

yet Tanial and I have managed to do this.

We have been friends since second grade.

Throughout our lives we have remained close

even if years go by without seeing each other.

I served in her wedding way back when.

She was the first of my high school friends to become

a Mother, and the first to become a

grandmother, or a HONEY, I should say.

So this blog is about my friend

but it is ultimately about this

beautiful baby, who I just know will

always be an important part of my life.

Cami, Tanial's daughter, also has

been important to me mostly in her adult years.

I was there hours after she gave birth to this

child, Roen.

Cami has been so good about making

sure she visits with the baby

and reminding me that Roen needs to know

who her Aunt Lil is.

Last night was one of those nights.

She stopped in for "just a few minutes"

and we landed up talking for an

hour or two.

I am so proud of Cami and how much

she adores this child.

She shared how much her life has changed

since she has become a Mommy and

how everything is now different for

her because she views the world so

differently.

She and I talked about things we never could

have before Roen because until you become

a Mother, there is so much about loving

a child that you just don't understand.

I always enjoy my visits with Cami and Roen.

I hope Roen, through her life will understand

just how much she is loved by her

Mommy, her Honey and oh, of course,

her Aunt Lil

Thanks Cami and Tanial for keeping

me active in Roen's life.

I love the three of ya'll to pieces!
