Yes we have our families.... Our husbands.... Partners.... Mums and dads.... But a best friend .... Who can replace ?
That friend or if you're lucky like I am that group of girls you clicked with instantly....
I am so blessed in my life with the richness of my friendships... Some are new and some are old but they are all treasured in my heart and I love them each fiercely.
My friends have taught me to love, to cry, to laugh, to be a wife.... A mother.... To cook.... To clean!!!!
Some of my close friends who I once lived with before I was married, we still get together husband and children free to enjoy a night away together with the girls, to laugh and usually cry ... But to just have that moment away together to forget the world and just enjoy our friendship.
One of my best friends and I met across a crowded room, we spotted each other and knew instantly that we wanted to be friends.... This was 11yrs ago...
Another BFF and I met as I am now her boss.... Never has she made this wired or strange between us, work is work and wine time is wine time.... We know this... A soon as I interviewed her I knew she had that something special and I wanted to be her friend.
One other fab friend and I used to share a room while I was in bible college.... We had 2 single mattresses on the floor side by side.... Shared clothes... Makeup.... Prescription creams which we shouldn't have done!!!! We now live away from each other but catch up when we can and have sleepovers again.....
A key of wisdom I learnt from another girl was to always protect our friendship.... No matter how I felt in the moment.... I would always protect our friendship .... I would always protect her name and she would always know that.
Life may change .... Location... Kids... Marriage .... Work..... It might all change and it might separate us but my love for my group of girlfriends is never ending.... I know they are here for me as I am for them....
Treasure your BFF, always protect her, encourage her, remind her that you are grateful for her and all that she brings to your life.....
