I just came across this pictures of these boys*. It’s from May 2007 at a local Bull Riding / Barrel Racing event. I love finding pictures that reflect on their friendship over the years, and I know someday they will love that I have so many of them when they were kids. I have friends today that I have had since I was N’s age, and it’s an amazing thing to remain friends that long. I wish that for my son. That, and many new, wonderful friends along the way. Somehow though, the comfort of someone who has known you since childhood is something that is irreplaceable. It’s a comfort, and a treasure.

I adore this picture of them. Even though you can’t see their faces, you can see the bigger picture – the bond of friendship (and two little boys who at that moment, wanted to grow up and be bull riders).  I can’t tell you enough how much I love watching my son form these friendship bonds.

*Just in case you happen to not recognize them from my previous posts, it’s N and his friend.
