"Ode to my Girlfriends"

"You cannot say you've lost a friend.  If a friendship is capable of ending, it is because it never existed."
~Anonymous




I have always known what a lucky girl I am to have true girl friends, and that I'm even luckier to have more than one.  I also try to make a point to tell my girlfriends on a very regular basis how deeply grateful I am to have them in my life, but I do believe you can never say it too much!


In the past two days I have become even more aware of this and grateful for my lovely ladies.  I have had a very unfortunate couple of days, in that, I have witnessed the true ugliness that can be "woman".  When women lash out at each other and think only of themselves it makes me sad and breaks my heart and yet I find myself to be thanking the lord that I do not have those types of relationships in my life.  I wish that everyone could have even a fraction of what I'm am so blessed to possess!! 


So I have written just a small sentiment.  Please keep in mind that I am not a writer but I do speak from the heart.  I could not possibly go into detail about all the experiences we have shared as it would probably be more of a book than a blog.... Hmmm perhaps that's something to ad to my bucket list??  Anyways!!


To my dear friends, and you all know who you are.....


You are my strength.  You are my family.  You are a part of my life, my memories, and my future. You have my back... sometimes my front, and you have always been right by my side.  You share your life with me, your thoughts, hopes, dreams and fears.  You listen, always.  You give advice, or you don't, whatever may be needed at the time.  You've held me up when I can't stand, encouraged me when I think I can't go on and cheered for me when I need it.  You are a part of all of my accomplishments, and you have witnessed my failures.  You never judge.  You are always there when I need you. You never ask why.  You share your family with me.  You share my joy and my sorrow and I in turn share yours.  We have gone through great trials in life. You laugh with me and cry with me.  We've stood together in the hardest of times and also in the happiest of moments.  Our friendship has never been difficult or challenging as you are one of my soul mates and I couldn't imagine my life with out you.  You know my past, you know my present, and you will be there to share in my future.  You know me.


You are my dearest friend,  I love you and I cherish you!




They say that you can count your true friends on one hand... Well I must have a horseshoe shoved right up my keester because I don't have enough fingers on one hand to count each of you!! Perhaps it's the luck o' the Irish, or maybe I just found some amazing people who I can't live without.


I would like to dedicate this to "the group" especially, my muff, my monkey, my mcnasty, my lil hoe, and also to my very best friend in the whole entire world, my little sister Mandy, without whom I don't think I would be who I am.  YOU are my other half, and you make me a better person.  I love you with every ounce my soul and beyond.  If I had one wish for the world, it would be for everyone to have at least one friend like you.  I love you!
