The older I get, the more I treasure friendships. Tomorrow morning I will meet my best girlfriend from my school days…..Kelly, for breakfast. We became best friends when we were cheerleaders the summer before our 9th grade year. Our lives have since taken so many turns – some happy, some sad, some surprising, some tragic. We’ve supported each other through the 33 years (can it possibly be THAT long??) that we’ve been friends. When I look back on those 33 years, it’s hard to believe that we’ve survived! I have to say, she’s more than just a friend. She’s more than the sister I never had. She’s been my rock, my support, my voice of reason, my stability, my angel of mercy, my strength, and the one who I want to be there for every event in my life – happy or sad.
I’m looking so forward to our breakfast together. The older I get, the more I realize that it’s the little things in life that matter – like taking time to have breakfast with your best friend. If you have a really special friend, take the time to call her (or him) and tell her (or him) how much (s)he means to you. Don’t put it off! You never know what tomorrow may bring……

Comment by judysnotes December 29, 2008 @ 7:44 pmI do actually call my best friend almost every day. Our kids are best friends, our dogs are best friends, and our husbands get along great. We met in 8th grade and were friends for 2 years, but were split up by a school change. We reunited in 2001 and have been inseperable ever since. Friendships like these are the ones that make it 33 years and beyond. Thanks mom and Kelly for giving me such a great example to build my friendship with.
I’m so glad that Logan will have a “Rachel and Julie” and a second mom in his life like I had.
Comment by Tiffany December 30, 2008 @ 8:35 pmHey….we look MARVELOUS!!! It is so hard to believe, 33 years. I know our lives have taken us in different directions and unfortunately, we dont’ get to spend as much time together as we used to or I know we’d like to, but absolutely NOTHING will ever come between us. I find such comfort in that. I mean, you know me, really know me after all this time and love me anyway. A person is so very blessed to experience that kind of friendship. I am so thankful for you Judy!!!
