Friends are sometimes the hardest to tell. They are the ones that know your inner heart and can tell you aren't ok.
Friends call the minute they know something is wrong.
Friends stay with you all day as you sort through pictures, laugh with you,cry with you, then help you put them on the computer when your not smart enough.
Friends bring over a bottle of wine and sit with you.
Friends are the ones you cry with.
Friends run your kids around. And keep them a few days while your gone.
Friends(family) sit with you at the hospital.
Friends leave you emails,facebooks, phone calls, giving you support and love.
Friends (family) work with your calves for NILE when your gone because the show is in a week and your not ready.
Friends call and tell you there is NO WAY you won't take your cattle to NILE because they will be there to do it for you if you need them to.
Friends (family) are there when it is shipping time.
Friends say they will help in the valley whenever we need them.
Friends officiate over your fathers funeral because you ask.
Friends travel from long distances to be with you when it is important.
Friends give the best hugs.
Friends bring enough food over to feed an army, sit with you and tell you your house "isn't that messy" when there is a cloud of dust on everything and piles everywhere.
Friends know just what to say and when you don't need to say anything.
Friends look out for you and your kids........all these years later that's what mom and dad's friends have done....
Friends know no time...true friendship picks up where it left off, whether it be days, months, or even years.
We can't even begin to tell you all how grateful we are for the incredible friends we have......... We are doing ok, still swimming a bit, and waiting for peaceful hearts....till then we have you, and are very blessed to have so many good FRIENDS!!!!

hugs to you both and your families. so sorry for your loss!
