Margo and Paolo

The Friendship Bracelets

Mom, Margo, and Paolo at a market

I miss Laura. I hate when friends move away.

Me too. This feels worse than all the times we had to move away.

Mom, Margo, and Paolo drinking and eating a snack

You can still call her! Or write letters.

I guess so.

Margo and Paolo holding their drinks and looking sad

It’s sad when friends go. But we can be thankful for how their friendship has blessed us.

Margo and Paolo looking at their bracelets

Remember when Laura gave us these friendship bracelets for our birthday?

Yeah! And she wrote us those nice notes too.

Mom and Margo talking to each other

She sounds like a good friend.

She is! She’s always kind, like Jesus. I want to be a good friend too.

Mom, Margo, and Paolo leaving the market

Hey, maybe we can send Laura friendship bracelets in the mail.

Let’s give some to Lucas and Julia too!
