My BFF and I have been friends since we can remember. I think we meet during grammar school. She would be walking her little brother in the carriage and I would be pushing my little brother and that’s how we pasted most Saturdays. These two boys still know and talk to one another also. Then some 38 years ago her husband was relocated to Houston, Texas and we found we had to make some major adjustments in our lives if we were going to remain friends and stay apart of each others lives. Though those 38 years we have spent countless hours on the phone bringing each other up-to-date on life’s little pleasures. Racked up air miles visiting each other for births, deaths, anniversaries, weddings and sometimes just to breathe each others air for awhile. We’ve sent ecards, jokes, pictures, articles and news via email to brighten each others day or just to say “I miss you”.
Your BFF is someone who you can share your secrets with and they will stay secret. Someone you can talk about your hopes and dreams for the future with and not get laughed at or ridiculed for your beliefs. They’ll be there to pick you up when you fall down and listen quietly while you rant and rave to blow off some steam. They’ll comfort you when your whole world falls apart and nothing good seems to be coming your way. They never judge or say "I told you so". They put you first when you call even if their most favorite TV program is on or they just sat down to dinner, or their in the middle of a major project…but… they know you need them more. Best friends are always there through the laughter, tears, births and deaths, marriages and divorces, lost jobs and new homes, the quite moments in your life and the ones that just make you want to rip you hair out.
If you’re lucky you get to spend a countless number hours with your BFF; going to events, parties, shopping, movies or just hanging out at the park or ice cream parlor(do they still have those?). In all of those hours spent together you get to know one another fairly well, so well that sometimes you can even tell when the phones going to ring and it will be them on the other end or you know that something is wrong but you don’t know quite what, then they call and the pieces start to come together. Its like your spirits have joined and you are one being. Makes you shake your head at times.
My most precious memories in life were when my best friend and I would go out on a Saturday night to one of the local clubs and then finish off the evening sitting in the town diner eating cheesecake and drinking hot tea. We talked for hours about everything and anything. Most times it was dawn before we knew it, time to go home and get some sleep before the next day began.
We still call each other as often as time allows because our respective families have gotten bigger, our children have children of their own and our personal down time is not exactly what we would like it to be. Our friendship continues to grow and I hope it keeps growing….we have plans for the future….something about sitting on a porch, rocking away, sipping hot tea and sharing a slice of cheesecake.
Family may come and go for a variety of reasons but with any luck your best friend will be there forever. So, grab your best friend, brew a pot of tea (or coffee) and celebrate life with a slice of cheesecake.
