Today is "National Best Friends Day". I've had the same best friend since I was six years old, and I'd so love to be spending the day with her - but, unfortunately, we haven't lived in the same place for a long time - so I'd like to talk a little bit about why I love her instead!
Mal, this is for you babe!
Mal, this is for you babe!
It doesn't matter how long we go without talking - or if someone moves out of the country for two years - you've been there.
I can vividly remember spending hours in your parents living room just playing. We would ask EVERY Sunday if the other could come over - it was almost a given. And then little bit later, being the girl who I would see "Titanic" with, and fall in love with the DiCaprio together (but never allowed to see the "car scene"..ha)
You became my sister.
Our lives have always been different - our interests have always been different - but it really always comes back to the fact that I need you in my life. I need that different perspective - the thoughtful, fact checking, scientific mind to my anxious, emotional, artistic mind.
The yin to my yang.
The yin to my yang.
I remember my knees totally giving out when your mom called that night 7 years ago, and I couldn't be there. But I knew that this was just a speed bump in the road. That you, you of all people,
could do this.
(if that makes any sense)
You have gone through things that I could never even imagine, and come out with the same fight, kindness and strength that I've always admired.
Our differences open each others eyes to new things.
Life is better with you. That's all.
Love you forever,
C
