Girlfriends

May 20, 2009


Last night I chatted with my best friend from high school and I have to say it left me feeling like I was on cloud 9. Melissa and I were inseparable in high school. We had all our classes together, always lunched together, went practically everywhere together. And when we weren’t together we were on the phone talking for hours and hours and hours under the guise of practicing our French. Then life started happening. I moved away for college, and then I got married and then there was a big miscommunication on my part, and we didn’t talk to each other for 5 years. But we recently found each other on Facebook. And our chat last night catching up on everything erased those 5 years. I felt like I was in high school again talking away about nothing and everything. With Melissa I’ve found that connection to my past, that shared history. With her, I can laugh at nothing and joke about loves and crushes and talk about guys with tattoos and totally be myself and love every minute of it. Our conversation left me feeling on top of the world, like a weight I didn’t know had been carrying had been lifted from my shoulders. There is nothing in the world like your best girlfriend from way back when.

    What a great feeling when you reconnect with someone. I had a similar expreience recently, over 6 years had past since we had last talked. What was nice about it was that we picked up right where we left off…such a great feeling! Sounds like you two were the same! Im so happy that you two have found each other again! Don’t let go!

    There sure is nothing like that Lizzi….I’m so glad you have it back! My best friend and I have been friends for 27 years now and we’ve talked just about every day of every one of those years in some way or another. She’s more a sister now to me and I love her to death!

    That’s cool, Lizzie. My best friend, Lorraine, and I have been like that since we were 15. She is more my sister than my own sisters. She is the only person on Earth that knows all my secrets.

    There is nothing in the world like your best girlfirend!

    And, a lovely piece on Jo. Did you plan it for her birthday? Because it was really special, as are you. I love reading about your motherly adventures and your feelings.
