This weekend, one of my friends celebrated her 40th. Her husband had a surprise party for her. I really had a lot of fun.
I am fortunate. I have had the same core group of friends from the time we were in diapers. I know I can count on them in any situation. Of course, like all friendships, we come and go in and out of each others lives. We all married and had kids and of course our families are our #1 priorities. But I would drop everything I was doing in a heart beat to go be at any one of their sides if they needed me. And I know they would do the same for me.
We were all at the same table at the party. And we laughed and talked and drank and ate for hours. And then moved our party to a bar (where one of ours friends daughter was BARTENDING!! How did we become old enough for THAT to happen??) We have seen each other through our ups and downs. Our kids baptisms. Proms. Graduations. Sadly, some loss of our parents. And then of course, soon enough, our kids weddings and their children. And we can sit back and watch as our children go through life like we did before them.
I can only hope my children have at least one friend like this like I have a GROUP of friends like this. How many people can say they have had the same friends for their ENTIRE lives??
I can.
I love each and every one of my best girl friends. I look forward to growing old together with you.
And of course, the drinking and eating too. And most important. LAUGHING. ♥
