Stranger Friends

Is it possible to have friends that you've never even met? If so, then I definitely have some good ones. I'm part of a December Moms group and have gotten to know a handful of these girls through the months. It's usually the same several girls that post and are on the board often. One set up a chat room for us so we could all chat with each other. We all live in different places, we are different ages, some are pregnant with their second, or third, or forth child, for some this is their first baby. We are different ages, come from different backgrounds, some of us are married, and some aren't. We have this one thing in common though that brings us all together. I can post my questions there and they will answer me. I can tell them my worries and they will encourage me. I can vent and they can relate and give me positive words. We share belly pictures and pictures of things that we've made for our little ones on the way. It's so cool to put a face to a name and build a real friendship with these women. I truly believe that even after we all give birth we will still be there for each other, encouraging each other, helping each other, giving advice to each other. And love seeing pictures and hearing stories of everyone's "bean" or "little dude" or "princess" that is now here, and not just kicking our bladders or giving us heartburn. I'm excited to continue this journey I'm on with these women. And I am grateful and thankful to these friends that I've never met.
