I am unsure if my beautiful friend Jen knows how much I adore her. I tell her all the time. In fact, she reads this, so HI JEN!
We met Jen and Chris when we were in the surrogacy program. They were on the bus with us, and I was fairly sure they were the other couple coming from MN, but I wasn't positive. She was quiet, very quiet. hehehehehheheheeh. It's funny to think of now!
We sat next to eachother at the meeting, and we began our relationship then. : ) A meeting of the hearts to start out with. Not everyone can be a surrogate, or has the WANT to, ya know? There is something in a person. If anyone has ever even thought of doing it, they have it. An understanding of love and life and what's real in the whole deal.
I found out that she wasn't really quiet. She's minorly shy, but fast to get over it. She was so easy to talk to and be with. I liked her right away. She was my favorite surrogate and we found out we lived near eachother. Well, that's all she wrote! We took forever to start hanging out, and now I look forward to seeing her and her family and I'm SO HAPPY that I have facebook so I can stalk her whenever I want to. She is a cute little southern belle with a sweet little southern twang to go with it. I can tell her anything and she has held my hand through losing couples, then losing my dream of being a surrogate. She was never afraid to talk to me (you know how sometimes when someone is gong through something, and people kinda shy away? Not Jen!). And the girl is NOT QUIET! She is my FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY Jen. I want to pluck her up, and make her know everyone I know because she's such a good, solid friend to everyone. If she were in a room full of people, and they were all hating on me, I know that Jen would stick up for me and tell them in her very sweet Southern accent, where to go. : ) Then I'd take her out and we'd drink til we're silly and have the best night ever!
Which we'll do someday anyway.
Until then, I look forward to the time I get to spend with her. I'm blessed over the moon to have found her the way I did. Sometimes I think she was the whole point of me trying to be a surrogate.
I ADORE YOU, JB!
Awww my sweet sweet Nickers!! I wasn't even expecting to see my name in here amongst people you've known for ages! You made me cry...I bet you saw that coming! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so incredibly glad - grateful - that we ended up friends the way we did. Just think...if both of us hadn't been at that exact surro meeting we may not have become such good friends! And then the next one when you were my plane & room buddy! I was heartbroken for you when your dream of being a surrogate had come to an end. You wanted it SO MUCH. I was sad for you, but glad you at least got to try. That really speaks to your character. And then I got to know you better and realize that you would give all the body parts you could live without...to perfect strangers even. That's just who you are and I am so grateful to God, to fate, to CSP that I got to know you and can call you a friend.
I absolutely adore your children and my kids look forward to any time they get to spend with them.
Goodness...I could go on and on and on! I love you to pieces Nicki! I've only known you for 2 years but it feels like I've always known you. And I look forward to being friends forever and ever. :)
