The sacrifices she makes...

... are hard to put in ones mind.

I have a friend, a long time friend of whom I am so glad to be able to call that. I love her with all my heart, and her family as if they were my own. Ive loved her kids all from day 1 of their lives, and wont ever stop watching, learning and loving them. They have been through ups, and downs, ins and outs and through more than most can imagine.

This past year for her has been full and I do mean FULL of sacrifices for her. Shes doing it because she loves her husband, and her kids.
Shes doing it because she wants better for them in alot of ways.... But what I fear is that she will if not already loose herself.
Shes so wonderful, and caring, and really deserves to be fully happy. If this is her happiness then great - thats all I want for her. If not, I hope she finds it soon.
There has to be a happy medium somewhere.

We sure miss her, and although she got the chance to come home, and hopefully will come " home " again, it just doesnt fill the place of knowing shes not around the corner or only a few minutes away anymore.
Instead, a phone call means so much - and we both get so busy that its hard to remember to pick it up.
A text can say alot though --- I know she reads this and until recently I didnt know just how much she wanted, more like needed to keep up.
I know she misses us, loves and and needs us to but for now, they are sacrifices.

lots of people who love her have sacrificed something too! A daughter, A aunt, A friend, A sister even an employee. Hows that for sacrifice!
Shes had to make alot too!

It takes a certain kind of strong person to do such things, and stay grounded. Im proud of you and I know that someday you will be rewarded. They are one lucky bunch to have you - never forget that. NEVER FORGET TO TAKE CARE OF YOU WHILE YOUR TAKING CARE OF THEM!
