Girlfriends

Meet my two BFFs, Kirsten and Sarah.

When I say best friends forever, I mean it. For more than 25 years they have been there.

People often wondered how three girls could get along so well. We rarely had a disagreement. We never had an outright argument. We have a true and solid friendship, the kind that endures the test of time.

To this day, I love them like sisters.

We did some crazy things in our youth, like the time when some of the boys on our street were having a sleepover in their font yard. We thought it would be fun to play a little trick on them.

We raided Sarah's pantry and her dad's bathroom. After they had fallen asleep, we struck.

We filled their shoes with shaving cream. We dumped boxes of cereal in their bags. We hid their clothes all over the yard. We cracked eggs and put them in places they shouldn't have been. The final touch were oreos stuck to their chins, cheeks and foreheads.

The boys just snored away, they never knew what hit them.

Apparently, those types of experiences have a way of bonding girlfriends permanently.

The years have come and gone. We have felt each other's joys and sorrows. We have been separated by oceans. We have been pulled apart from the busyness of day to day life. But we have an unusual and unique way of staying in each other's hearts.

Everyone should have friends like Kirsten and Sarah. They are loyal, they are true, they are beautiful inside and out. I love you both. Here's to the next 25 years!
