My Best Friend

suebee · 02-06-2010, 08:59 AM

Throughout the years I've had different "best friends". There was Judy throughout grade school and Jr. High, and then when we went to different high schools I made friends with Karen, Bev and Paula. The four of us were inseparable. Three of us went to live in the same city to go to school and our friendship continued for years. Since then I've always had a number of really close friends - friends I would trust my life with. As a matter of fact I did so litterally when I had surgery for lung cancer a couple of years ago, and named Mary and Pat as co-medical trustees - you know, In case anything went wrong.

I think I went through a long period as an adult wondering why I didn't have A best friend. Then I came to realize that each of my friends occupies a different place in my heart - fills a different need - allows me to be a little more of who I am. I am blessed. I truly am.

But yet again the Universe decided to bless me.

My best friend now is my beloved Ima Dandy. She's my heart and soul. We like doing the same things. It's the little things that count: walking on the beach as often as we can, hunting for bargains, cuddling while we watch a video, dreaming what to do to make the house truly OURS.

It doesn't get much better than this.

I'm one lucky

As I read each unique testament, your memories so moving, I see such an abundance of pure unconditional love.

I'm humbled by each and every one of you that contributed your own extraordinary story of love with your best friend.

I look upon all of you, truly, as extended 'Family'. This past year has been a bit more challenging for me. During this time, I recognize I've been leaning on all of you for extra support. Through your personal experiences of joy you so courageously have been expressing, you've made my heart smile. Thank you all so very very very much for keeping my spirits up.

I think I am so very fortunate that one of my best friends is my exwife, PinkieLee. I would never in a million years thought that she would be one of my biggest supporters, the world's greatest cheerleader and always provide a shoulder to cry on after we parted ways several years ago. But I guess after putting up with me for over 7 years, she decided I was still worth the effort. Who else would bring a stash of beer to your mother's funeral because they knew you were going to need one after dealing with your family all day!!! Now, that is a true friend. I love you PinkieLee, you are one of the most wonderful women I know!!

My best friend loves me unconditionally.
My best friend showed me how much more enjoyable life is with positive thinking.
My best friend showed me how not to own other peoples' crap as mine.
My best friend showed me how to slow down and smell the roses of life.
My best friend let me be me.
My best friend let's me know when I've been wrong.
My best friend showed me how to laugh again.
My best friend showed me how to be strong.
My best friend has my back.
My best friend is my wife.
