Today I had lunch with a very special group of women- the Rapunzels. We have been friends and a support group for each other since we met in a parenting class with our first babies. Thirty-six years later we are still meeting- at least once a month! We held each others’ hands during potty training, the terrible twos, births of more babies, school adjustments, the teenage years, moves, divorce, illness, and the death of our beloved member, Vicki. And now we are moving into retirement years- and grandmotherhood! I am very blessed to have these wonderful women in my life!
And why are we called the Rapunzels? Well, in our years of being stay-at-home moms, we started meeting at night WITHOUT our children so we could let our hair down!
