Many new mothers lament the friendships they lost before having children. There is no disputing that being pregnant damages your friendships, but it doesn’t mean all is gone. You’ll realize that every alteration in your friendship was worthwhile when your closest friend begins to treat your kids like her own.
I am one of the fortunate ones, and I am eternally grateful to my closest friend for always treating my kids as her own. Time restrictions, lifestyle changes, and misunderstandings may cause distance between friends, but when you have a buddy who is more like family than a friend, everything works out.
This letter is sent to my dearest friend, who never fails to support us and accepts my children for who they are. It’s also for all the other ladies who raise their best friend’s children as if they were their own. You should be aware of our love for you.
Dear Bestie,
You have supported me and my children through so many important events. You receive my initial response to every circumstance since you are the first person I text when I have anything to offer. You always go along for the trip and are the first to know what’s happening with my kids.
Prior to having children, our connection was very different, but it is now much more solid. You were the only one who truly understood me when we were adolescents. You now also understand who I am as a parent.
You’ve been there for me through every stage of life, and that means the world to me. It’s another amazing period of my life having you as my closest friend while our children grow together. This time, it doesn’t just make me happy; you also greatly enhance the lives of my children.
Love remained constant despite all of life’s ups and downs. I can never express enough gratitude to you, Bestie, for the love that now overflows onto my kids.
I am so grateful that having kids didn’t pull us apart.
Instead, having children has strengthened our bond. Now that another incredible lady has entered my kids’ life, they have someone to look up to and confide in. Even better, our children get to develop a sense of familial affection.
When my kids do something new or have a significant day, you celebrate them. Their day is made by your joy for them, and it means so much to watch their cheeks light up. You demonstrate how much you actually care and what a terrific bestie you are by remembering the simple things.
I’m so glad you can enjoy the off-the-cuff videos I send of my kids. And what’s even better is that you get the point without my having to explain. You are so familiar with my children that you can anticipate their needs and know how to handle any situation.
You keep my kids amused when you sense that I’m growing impatient, and you’re always ready to step in when something needs to be done. You have picked up and left off my children at school, done their hair for school, and more. We will always be grateful for all that you have done for us and for being willing to be here with us.
Thank you for going above and beyond as my bestie, loving my children as your own.
I seek your advice because I am certain that you have my babies’ best interests at heart. You are straightforward and helpful when offering guidance to the youngsters you adore as much as your own.
I appreciate how you don’t make me feel guilty when I act differently than you would have or make errors as a parent. Although we don’t always do things the same way, we respect and value one other’s opinions and approaches.
I know my children will experience love and nurturing when they are with you. I don’t take it for granted that you’ll look for them the same way I would. Not everyone can rely on others the way I can or can have such high regard for their children.
I appreciate you teaching my children good habits, just as you do with your own. You can assist my kids become the outstanding young persons they have become by correcting their conduct. You watch out for them, but you also count on them to show civility and kindness.
You inspire us because you aren’t afraid to be yourself.
As you play with the children and are kind to them, I want to say that you are amazing. I’m really fortunate to have you in my life since finding a bestie like you is unusual and priceless.
We are all reminded by you to be genuine to ourselves as well as to have fun. You remain loyal to who you are and what you believe in even when times are tough. I want my kids to learn your independence and your will to achieve from you.
Being around you demonstrates to them what is feasible and that it is possible to live the life of one’s desires. My children have discovered that being yourself is more important than being perfect. I appreciate you giving them the go-ahead to be confident in who they are.
You’ve touched our lives in ways that I’ll never be able to explain.
We are extremely fortunate to have you with us for all of the athletic events, workouts, and other life events. I appreciate you being my closest friend and treating my children as your own. Above all, I want to thank you for being the role model that you are.
I want you to know that everything you do is noticed and appreciated. I appreciate you deciding to be a part of our family and treating my children like your own. You’ll always play a huge role in our life, and I like witnessing your connection with my infant children.
We will try our best to express our gratitude even though we will never be able to fully thank you for the love you have given. I know I’ll have your support as we continue to learn and develop as parents together. We adore you more than you can imagine, and I want you to know what a great best friend you are.
