3 year old relationships make me laugh because they are so silly. at times, calvary and owen would fight over the best trains, sand toys, and volume levels. at other times, they would play side by side building the biggest train or being silly for hours.
owen and his family recently moved across the state and as the impending day approached i felt increasingly sad for him. i knew that he did not really understand the logistics of a friend moving away, but i knew.
so now, every time we go to buy candy as a treat and calvary insists on buying one for owen too i have to say, "remember, owen moved away..."
or when he sees a train show coming on tv (owen loves trains) and calvary excitedly says, "we need to let owen see that!" i simply nod my head...
at least once a week he tells me that he loves owen.
the good thing about all of this is that he can no longer brag to harper that he went to owen's house to play while she was subjected to the "torture" of kindergarten (i think he'll realize one day who was really missing out in the ongoing battle between kindergarten and staying home with mommy).
the bad part is that both calvary and i miss hanging out with our friends. it didn't matter to owen or calvary if one was having a bad day--because they could just be theirselves.
and that is why i miss owen's mom. our tuesday mornings were a nice refuge from the craziness of the week...
now all calvary and i have is each other...gulp.

Oh my goodness I am going to cry. That was the sweetest thing I've ever read. I want to copy that and put that in a scrapbook.
I miss you, Calvary's mommy! Owen misses Calvary too and we look at the picture of the two of them often.
Owen refers to Elliott's friend.... Oliver Jack we miss you guys.
"Don't know what you've got until it's gone" that is how I feel about our Tuesday mornings. Miss you.
