To have just such a supportive friend

Filed under: Family Stuff — July 5, 2007 @ 9:33 pm

I’m walking back from my 2 mile walk with Brutus this morning when a car slows down. Thankfully my neighbors are all quite nice, friendly, and while none hs none seem to really notice that we do hs. It is nice. So my neighbor Crystal first shares some pleasanties about Brutus’ size and whether he is finished growing. He isn’t and should grow about another 3″ and put on another 20 - 50#. He sat looking pretty and I was quite pleased with his behavior.

She then mentions that one of her dear friend’s is pulling her 4th and 5th grader out of the local school system and would I be willing to come to a ’social tea’. Crystal has many hs’ing friends, how or why I do not know but she does, and she is arranging this ’social tea’ so this new hs’er can meet us. What a wonderful friend she has, and how lucky too, to have a supportive friend that will try to get you connected with a support system.

Too often I hear or read about the new hs’er who feels her friends have deserted her when she starts to hs that I just had to share this mornings event. I’m jealous too. :-)

    How refreshing! That certainly wasn’t the response I got. Everybody thought I was crazy! Three years later and still going strong!

    Yes, refreshing and rare. My friends and family reacted similarly to yours, and a few even shunned us. Their loss. Still going strong too since ‘99.
