i have some of the best girlfriends in the world. some of them i’ve known forever, and some i’ve known for only a year or two. i feel so lucky to have such wonderful women in my life, and i really try to work at the friendships to make sure they stay intact.
that being said, it can be difficult to maintain friendships as we get older… our lives change and become busier. kids get involved. people move far away. and life just gets complicated. however, i feel strongly that real friends never leave you. you can go months, years even, and when you get a call, or find time to meet for a drink, it’s like no time at all has passed. in fact, this ecard pretty much sums it up.
so today, i thank all of my amazing girlfriends:
the one that i’ve known since i was born (our moms were friends first), who i shared a secret club with, and whispered to about boys when i was 12…
the one that was my first roommate in nyc, and would buy a dozen krispy kremes and always save me one…
the one that married one of my closest friends, who in turn became my closest friend, who will be there for me for eternity (i am sure of that)…
the one that surprised us all and got married first (and had a baby first!!!), and yet whenever we hang out it’s like we’re 20 years old all over again (in a good way)…
the one who lives hours away from anyone else that i know, but who makes the drive to see me when i am in new jersey visiting family, even though she’s low on cash and has to drive by herself…
the one who had her first baby while i waited with her family in the hospital…
and even the one that i am no longer friends with, because we had a horrible falling out that i still hate thinking about, but who filled many years of my life with laughter…
where (and who) would i be without these friends? i hope you all have a bff for life.. i would love it if you would leave a comment and tell me about her (or him).
