What Makes a Best Friend?
My best friend has been with me since high school, we've married men the other couldn't stand.
Our children have been intertwined in each other lives since birth.
They share a closeness even though they grew up miles apart.
We call or email each other whenever we need to catch each other up on our lives.
She has been there for me through thick and thin, good times and bad.
I was there during her first boyfriend, I was there when she married her last boyfriend four days after graduation.
She was there when I received my first kiss, she was there for my wedding, she was there throughout my divorce.
We have had our fights throughout our friendship.
We have loved each other always.
She will always be my best friend.
To be a best friend you stand by them no matter what decision they make.
To be a best friend you never judge her/him you love them, you protect them if you can, and you learn to make them laugh when they are crying inside or out.
You forgive the unforgettable, you love without stipulations, and you encourage them to make the decision that is right for them, not aways the one you feel is right.
This is what it means to be a best friend.
You have a sounding board no matter the problem, you have a shoulder to lean on, a hug, a laugh, or a smile whenever you have misplaced your own sound of reason.
There have been times throughout our lives, when we have lost track of each other.
After all with adulthood you think about responsibilities more then you do a friendship or keeping track of someone who is important, but is not a number one priority on your list at the time.
While I might wish, this not to be true, it often was for her as well as myself.
After all we both had husbands, children, and families to think about first, and so one or the other would be brushed to the side for a time.
We never stayed gone for long, one of us would feel the need to discuss our feelings or some certain problem and call or write.
This is when you realize what a true best friend means.
You pick up right where you left off maybe just moments ago, or a year ago, but it still feels like yesterday.
My best friend has done these things for me, and I have always tried to do these things for her.
We accept each other with all our flaws, we argue, we laugh, and we've had serious conversions which have lasted all night long.
No matter the years that seem to fly by one thing never changes I have a best friend to turn to whenever I need her most, or just want to share a crazy thought or two.
