Holding hands across the country....

Yesterday was a special day for me, it marked a "first" between myself and  a new, but very dear friend of mine, Sass of misssassafrass.blogspot.com.  We got to talk for real on the phone!  I found her blog a while back commented and started emailing her which lead to txting & finally to our first phone call.  I was very nervous when I called her, more nervous when she didn't pick up & shaking with nervousness when she called me back two minutes later.  But as soon as I heard her voice I was just instantly at peace.  I loved every minute of our almost hour conversation, we never had even one moment of akward silence, it was as if we had talked a million times before.  Then it hit me, we had talked a million times before, we just hadn't heard each other's voices all the other times.  We were both already invested in each other's lives and so the flow was totally natural.  We spoke again today, of music, our dad's, our wedding days, and then later on via txt I bared my soul to her and shared some things with her that only the closest people in my life know.  Things that are hard to talk about, things that bring up all kinds of hard emotional responses that just plain suck!  But although this conversation all happened via txt I felt as though she was right there at my kitchen table with me, holding my hand as I talked about a part of my life that I wish I could remove from my memory.  She said she wished she could hug me and cry with me. She reminded me that God loves me and has a plan for me.  She reminded me that my husband and children love me, and then, she told me she loved me too.  I feel truly blessed to have found her & it may not be this year, but some time in the not so distant future I know we will get to chat face to face!  Until that day, I will be there holding her hand in spirit, sending her virtual hugs, and thanking God daily for putting her in my life-I love you too Sass!
Love,
Scarlet
