I LOVE my friend Heather! For some reason we never got close until recently and I am so grateful that God put her in my life. Especially now. I couldn't ask for a more caring and considerate friend.
I am going to share our texts from last night.
(If I knew how to take a screen shot I would do that... but I don't)
Heather: You feel any better
Me: I still feel deflated. I just want my baby boy
Heather: You will get that boy, even if we have to raise a ton of money and get you to Africa, it will happen.
Me: :) I love you
Heather: It's true. Doors keep closing because you are on a set path leading you straight to him. Going through the wrong door would take you the wrong way.
Me: You are right. But I feel like I keep going through the wrong doors over and over again.
Heather: I think it's because you want it so badly. You are desperately searching for him and it inspires me.
(That last line killed me. I am. She knew exactly what I was feeling. I am trying to find my lost son. I am doing everything I can to bring him home to me.)
Me: Aww. Now I'm crying
Heather: That's the love of a mother. Don't cry
Me: I mean. Like crying crying. Heather, you have no idea how much you mean to me. That may be the most amazing thing anyone has ever said to me.
Heather: It's the truth. All I know is that you usually have to get A LOT of no's before you get your yes. But the only way to get your yes is to ignore the no's. This is how I got Pete to propose. haha
(hahahah true. They dated for a very long time before he proposed.)
It was wonderful to hear my feelings validated. It makes me feel like less of a nut job. I love you Heather. Thank you, sincerely, for being such an amazing friend.
Aw. I love you Annie!
