my tiny (best) friends

"Friends are born, not made."

- Henry Adams

"My father always used to say that when you die,

if you've got five real friends,

you've had a great life."

* Lee Iacocca

I am brought to tears by this photo.

Tears of complete joy.

Happiness.

Pride.

Our babies have grown so much, together.

The mommies have grown so much, together.

But, here's the thing.

I look at this picture...

and I don't see my c0-workers' kids.

I don't even see Molly's friends.

I see MY friends.

My littlest friends.

Oh, babies...you are all so completely loved.

Your giggles, smiles, and tiny friendships

melt my heart.

I love how you are all so different,

but yet completely the same.

Promise me, babies...

That since I can't STOP you from growing,

that I can be there forever to watch you grow with Molly.

And mommies, thank you for sharing your babies with me.

I promise to always have my camera...

because moments like this are priceless.
