Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks...
Ok, below is a picture of one of my really good friends John with his (and his wonderful wife Tammi's) son Matthew. I knew John in high school but really talked to him more because he is my ex's best friend. Both John and Tammi were so excited when the ex and I got together, and we were in turn ecstatic to be invited to the birth of their precious little boy Matthew. I miss this family so much and really want to continue our friendship. Tammi's family was always so wonderful and welcomed us in like we were one of them. So far I have not had a chance to get down to where they are living for a visit since the breakup, but I do want to thank them for keeping in contact online because they are so very important to me, no matter what. When I was talking to Tammi the other night she sent me a picture they had recently taken and I felt so sad that I have not gotten to be more involved in Matthew's life. We were at the hospital when he was born and it just seems over the past years I have been lazy in preserving that (and many other) bonds with the special people in my life. Hope you enjoy the pic below, I know I did. Oh and Elmer no I do not mean that I want to squeeze your cheeks...been there done that I got enough of that in Me and My Girl.

I remember how excited you were when Matthew was born. If you remember those feelings it might help you be less "lazy" about maintaining friendships. You are worthy of love!
Yeah I know....I am working on it :-)
I know how you feel! When my ex and I broke up I was so devastated about not seeing his nephews anymore. Both were born while we were dating and they were always so happy to see me. They'd give me a big hug and a kiss if i was really luck. And when I would go they'd tell me they loved me, it was too cute! After breaking up they continued to ask when I was coming over and gave the new girl the cold shoulder (thanks boys - kids have such good instincts), but I miss them. I often wonder how they are, how much they've grown, what they are up to. Good luck staying in touch with them as he looks adorable!
Thanks Annie! I really appreciate your words. You are right, kids do have the best instincts. I thought that my own nephew was going to be devastated as he was really close to my ex but as it turns out he never even brought him up to me. My nephew is the sweetest little (not so little anymore) guy.
