My BFF's

I really count myself one of the luckiest people I know. I have two of the sweetest BFF's in the world. When I turned 40 this year one of them was right there on hand with a very mushy poem that mad me cry! This year was not only the year I turned 40, it was also the year that we marked our 25 year friendship. How many people can say they have kept their friends for 25 years. I don't mean the kind of friend you have the occasional dinner with or the friend that you mail a Christmas card to. I am talking about a friend that knows all the joys, sorrow, pain, and happiness you have been through. The kind of friend that will say..."honey you need to re-think that outfit" , and you know that she is probably right. I am talking about a friend that you can call at the last minute and say "hey, I need help" and she says "I am on my way". That's what I have. Rosemary gave me a card this year for my b-day that set the tears flowing. She thanked me for having a part and for letting her be a part of my life for 25 years. She had a picture that I tried to scan but it was too dark; of us pregnant with "The Littles" at the lake. (Wow now that is some serious birthcontrol ladies...let me know if you want a copy to put on your fridge for all your teenage girls to see....you can lable it "THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU") call me crazy, but I actually cherish this picture. So to wrap this long post up...I just want to say...I wish for all my friends and family a wonderful best friend or two that you can love and be loved by for 25 years or more.............................................(lots more!)

P.S. Since we have had our kids in sets we labled them..."The bigs" The middles" and "The littles" don't know how we came up with it, but it stuck.
