Today, my friend Melissa came over and she brought me some beer. I am officially done breastfeeding so I'm allowed. We talked about the past. My favorite (sometimes not so favorite) subject. We talked about Seth. We talked about being ten years old, and then teenagers. Now we're growing up. I have a husband and child, and she's almost done with college - on her way to bigger and better things.
We have both experienced such joy and sadness. We have cried, and been so angry. We have fought and made up. And still, we remain friends. No matter where we are in life we always come back. Even if it's just for a short visit. Even if it's to talk while the beer gets warm. And this is something about our friendship that I love so much. Melissa and I will be there. Always. The day that we are not, will be the day that one or the other has gone.
“Back in the day”
