réuni

Time is a many splendored thing! Or is that love...or money? Anywho..I have been a member of message board Heaven (er Hell) for several years now, hopping from one Mommy's board to another. In my journeys I have met some wonderful people who live vastly different lives than I do, some in different countries even--and yet we all have one single common thread through it all: Children.

In the beginning of my parental posting I met a lovely lady named Poo Head. She and I were both night owls, and spent hours of goofy fun entertaining ourselves when all the smart mothers went to bed. We became fast friends despite the almost 5,000 kilometers between us.

Sadly, we grew apart and lost touch. It wasn't so much that we lost touch really, but simply misplaced it. Every day I thought about my Poo Head and her sweet babies, and missed her a great deal, but pride and fear of emotional pain kept me from reaching out.

Montana found a picture of a junior Poo Head a few days ago, and I remembered how wonderful it was to talk to his Momma the night I printed that picture, and it hurt so much I almost threw it out.

Last night, by some wonderful twist of fate, Poo Head reached out to me. I wasn't sure what to think of this; it had been over a year since our last contact took place. I decided to test the waters and found they were actually quite warm! Poo Head and I have been "chatting" ever since, and I could not be happier.

I sincerely hope our Internet friendship will continue forever. Friendships like ours are hard to find. Cheesy, but true, my friends.

  1. Poo head is a little severe, dontcha think? This friend of yours probably wouldn't appreciate you comparing her, I bet, quite lovely head, to poo. ;) I'm happy you and your poo head got back together. She is one lucky number 2. :D
