Brigden's Best Friend

Brigden's Best Friend; Angie Wood holding Brigden and Bevan

You would think that Brigden's best friend was a toddler his own age that would play with his Lightning McQueen cars with him, but you'd be wrong! His best friend is actually Angie Wood, the mother of some of his best playmates; Kaleb and Korbin Wood. Because Brigden spends so much time at her home playing with her boys, he has grown to adore her. I try not to take it personally, but how can you not when each time you tell him we're leaving the house and his first question is, "Are we going to Angie's house, Mom?" or when he sees her at a nearby park and instead of first mentioning her sons, he says, "Hey, Mom, look it's Angie!" Every time we walk by her in the hallways at church Brigden will say, "Mom, here comes Angie." She is so good to him and just eats up the attention he gives her that it's actually not a problem for me at all. I love watching him love her. It's most adorable because she isn't 'Kaleb's Mom' or 'Korbin's Mom,' she's "Angie." He's always happy to have her around and so are we!

When I was in the hospital with Bevan, Angie was such a help to me during those few days and the next week. I am so grateful for friends like her whose endless help made my difficult labor & recovery so smooth. She is not only a blessing to Brigden, but a blessing to me!
