Friendship

We're so lucky to be able to provide Ella with a lasting link to one of her former orphanage mates.  The girls are so incredibly alike and remember a lot of the same things from their years in Armenia.

To make it even more special, there's also a deep connection between Ella's friend's mom and me.  I am very protective of this friendship and greatly value the (not enough) time we get to spend face to face... not to mention the countless hours of keeping each other going via Facebook. 

So, these last few days of friendship under the same roof were much needed, restorative, relaxing, fun, fattening, affirming and awesome.
