A Special Visit

Some of our dearest friends, the Sallaway family, came for a brief visit a couple of weeks ago.  We met this special family shortly after our move to Houston.  Sarah, who was only six months old at the time, and Ashley, seven months, made an instant connection and became the best of friends at this very young age.  Sarah and Ashley enjoyed weekly play dates and simply adored spending time with each other.  The Sallaways moved to Dallas a few months prior to Sarah's diagnosis.  During the final months of Sarah's life her dear little friend traveled the distance with her mother to bring joy, laughter and lots of hugs to Sarah.  I will forever be grateful for beautiful Ashley and her love for Sarah.  What a blessing for two girls to have the gift of friendship at such a tender age.
