Best Friend

Growing up I always wanted a 'best' friend.

I wanted someone I could share my secrets with

giggle and talk about boys with

cry with

experience growing pains with

share the happy moments with

I had to wait 19 years to get to know her

But we made up for lost time

She keeps my secrets (even the ones that aren't really secrets)

She make me laugh

and better yet she really laughs at my silly, stupid humor

We have seen each other through the early heartbreak

Only to stand up with each other as we said "I do" to great guys.

I married a guy who is, in his personality, very much like my best friend.

We grew up.

We learned big life lessons.

And through it all she has been the one person that really knows me, knows my wounds, understands me, and likes me anyway.

We have our husbands and our children and we love them with all that we are

but I know as long as we are on this earth

I will have my best friend.

Everyone should have a Sow.
