My Luke

Eli is missing his best buddy these days.

a.k.a. My Luke.

They have been BFFs almost since conception.

Luke's parents, Scott and Lisa, lived with us in the apartment behind our house while we were pregnant with the boys. So, while they were unaware, they were destined to be friends.

Born 25 days apart.

Separated only by a few miles once they moved to their first house.

Played together at least once a week for their whole lives.

But, now Luke lives in Scotland.

Only he doesn't.

He lives in Portland. But Eli is certain that it is Scotland...

and we need to get on an airplane and go to his house so that they can play trains together.

Missing them so. so. much.
