Oh hey, itโs just Lydia & her beau, Cooper!! ๐๐๐ I have waited SO long for the day when these two could finally meet in person! I wish the occasion had been different, but what a joy to be able to finally hug my friend Kim in real life! Lydia & Cooper are the same age and went through open heart surgeries six months apart. Kim and I have just been casually following/messaging each other for three years sharing all the thingsโthings that only a select group of people understand. Living in endless quarantine, therapy, the gifts of T21, some tears, plenty of planning how these two redheaded toddlers are going to grow up & marry each other, and lots of sarcastic one-liners. Sheโs the kind of friend that when youโre surrounded by hundreds of strangers youโve never met and a car drives by and someone in it yells your name, you know exactly who it is ๐๐ Canโt wait to finally escape our houses & get these two together over and over again. We love you guys. ๐ (PS Kim donโt hate me for posting a picture from the sweatiest night of our lives, k?) @runninglatewiththebates
