A Heartfelt Note to My Genuine Friend

I never anticipated that dropping off my son at your son’s 10th birthday sleepover would leave me feeling so emotional. After the group of excited kids dashed off for some Nerf gun action, you invited me to stay for our usual drink and conversation. Eager to contribute, I brought wasabi peas and pita chips to the patio, where a chilled prosecco and birthday root beer awaited us.

As I settled in, my eyes landed on the chaise lounges tucked away in the corner. Instantly, I was transported back to those days when our little ones, your son and mine, would sit there side by side nibbling on Goldfish crackers. It struck me that our boys were born just ten days apart, marking a decade of their friendship this summer. Overwhelmed with nostalgia, I discreetly wiped away a tear, pretending to fan my face with a chip.

After regaining my composure, we poured our drinks and toasted to their milestone birthdays. Yet, amid the celebration, I overlooked something equally significant: the ten years of friendship we’ve built together.

Our journey began at The Newcomers Club Mommy and Me. I was there as a non-member, and you arrived a bit late. I felt out of place as I watched you and your delightful son, both dressed in blue, charm every mom in the room. When the crowd thinned, you settled next to me on the rug, where my baby was peacefully asleep. Any worries about being a new mom melted away as you offered a warm introduction that immediately made me feel at ease. I saw your kindness and positivity and hoped we would become friends.

Though the Newcomers Club came to an end, our friendship endured. Even when our boys began to clash, we made sure to keep our connection strong. When I had my second child, you brought me delicious sea salt brownies to the hospital, embracing my new reality as a mom of two. You even made the trek to our new home during a winter move, despite the extra travel time involved. And when you launched your own business while pursuing your dream career, you still found time to encourage me to chase my passions, even after you returned to work full-time.

Every glance at my Wonder Woman Lego keychain, my “Believe” Giving Keys necklace, or the golden clutch you gifted me for my 40th birthday reminds me of your thoughtfulness and the incredible qualities you embody—traits that you have also instilled in your son.

An unexpected yet cherished gift of motherhood has been finding a friend like you. So, on this special occasion of our aluminum anniversary, I raise my glass to you. Thank you for being the genuine, wonderful person you are.
