Rockin’ Recipient Bethany and her BFF Grace have known each other since they were 7 years old and are now attending the University of Toledo together.
Bethany’s mom told me that she never worried about Bethany when they were together and when I asked Grace about their life-long friendship she had this to say:
“Bethany and I met in the first grade and have been friends ever since. No, let me rephrase that: We have been sisters ever since. Many say that I have been a huge factor in who Beth is today, but I think those people are wrong. I wouldn’t be who I am today without Bethany. I am so lucky to have met Beth and I honestly have no idea what my life would be like without her”
Bethany had this to say about Grace:
“Grace and I have been best friends since the first grade. We have had so much fun doing so many things together, both in school and out of school. We have so much fun hanging out. She has helped teach me about a lot of things too. I feel like I can talk to her about anything, and I know she will always be there for me. She really likes me for who I am and doesn’t see my disability. It is wonderful to have a best friend.”
This story inspires me and makes this mama’s heart so happy!! Ruby is only in kindergarten, but I already see these little life-long friendships in the making. Keep on rockin’ it Bethany and Grace!!
