The beautiful roses Peggy brought me.
Yesterday I was treated to a visit from one of my lifelong friends! I call her my sister of my heart. We literally can't remember a time when we weren't friends because we have been friends since we were very little. Neither of us can remember how young we have memories of playing together as young as 3 or younger. The best thing about a friend that you have known your whole life is that no matter how long it is between visits, you just pick right up where you left off. We have seen each other through it all. The births of our children, the deaths of loved ones, our weddings, life, love, loss, grandchildren. We really are the epitome of, for better or worse, in sickness and health.
Our children laugh at us when we're together because we literally finish each other's sentences. One of us will begin a story with two words and we will both break out in hysterical laughter causing everyone else to cry out, what's so funny?! They've grown accustomed to it now, but it used to drive them crazy. We've shared so much of life together. So many laughs, so many tears, so many adventures! Sometimes we marvel at how we survived it all, but we're thankful we did.
