BEST FRIENDS

02.27.2011

If you’re lucky a friendship will come along that lasts beyond a lifetime. One that will see you through the deepest lows and the greatest highs of your life. It’s a friendship that lets you know when you’re being stupid, and doesn’t hesitate to say ‘I told you so’ when proven right. Because she’s your friend. Your best friend.

I had that with Carol. We laughed together, cried together, played together. We raised our kids together. And held each other when those kids were living their own lives and making their own mistakes and learning their own lessons. I know she took secrets to the grave with her, as I will take my own. Because we’re that kind of friends.

I held her hand when she died, swear I felt her peace when she reached out for the Other Side. I was honored to be with her at the end of this cycle and the beginning of her next. I know she’ll be one of the first to greet me when it’s my time to go Home. This wasn’t our first lifetime together, nor will it be the last.

The veil between this world and Home is quite thin. I’ll be waiting for her visit.
