Good Bye

Bridget was able to spend 2 days with one of her best friends ever - Ashley Burns - this past weekend.  Ashley moved to Heber 1 1/2 years ago.  She wasn't here for long but last school year her and Bridget were attached at the hip.  They had every class together last year.  When they moved here they weren't memebers of the church.  They ended up getting baptized and were in our ward.  At the end of the school year they moved to Texas.  I think this was one of the hardest things Bridget has gone through.  Her family didn't stay active but Ashley did - as much as she was allowed.  Ashley has stayed strong!  That has been one of the things that has been so hard on Bridget - she knows Ashley is on her own as far as the church goes.  Martineau's flew Ashley to AZ and took her on their family vacation.  She got home Thursday evening - that is when Bridget got to see her.  For them to see each other was priceless!  They shed many tears while she was here with very mixed feelings.  

 They played all day and night Friday and Saturday.  Sunday morning we left with Aunt Tiff and went to the airport to drop Ashley off.  I think it was just as hard this time for them to say goodbye as it was the 1st time.  They are for sure friends forever and they know they are!
