Thankful Thursday - BBC April Mommas

I have a group of friends. We have "known" each other for 3 years or so.  Many of us have never met.  Some may think it odd that a group of Women all across Canada from coast to coast could be friends. There is a vast diversity of women in this group from occupations, religions, parenting style, ect but we have much in common.  We are all mothers, we all support one another, we all have good days and bad days.  We share everything and I mean everything, from triumphs to tragedies.  When someone is going through a rough patch, we are all there to support, encourage and lend an ear.  When someone has some amazing news to share, we are usually the first ones to hear.  We talk about everything from potty training, book suggestions and where to find a good deal, anything and everything has been discussed and shared.  I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through the last 3 years with out them.  Being a mom is a hard job and I know these women understand.  When I feel like the worlds worst mom, they are there, encouraging me, telling me I am doing a great job.  I know we all share the feeling that we are so lucky to have this group to come to share openly our thoughts and feelings.  I can't even count the number of times I have started a conversation with " One of my mommy group friends ...." Today and everyday, I am thankful for these wonderful Momma's friendship.  I am thankful that one of them could stop by and visit today for my first of hopefully many more meet ups.  One day it is our collective dream for us all to meet in person, just waiting on one of us to win the lottery or someone to feature our group on tv...Hmmm...Where is Oprah when you need her?
