Meet My Friends
The best of friends- you and I
On butterfly wings, together- we fly.
~M.R.L.~
~Michelle~
From the first day I met Michelle I knew we were as different as
night and day. We
seem to have so few things in common and so many differences. We look
different, act different, dress different, raise our kids different, eat
differently...LOL...get the idea. What we do have in common is a true
belief in honesty, compassion and the love to laugh.
We met in Hawaii while both our husbands were stationed there. If
you ask her, she will probably tell you she thought I was insane at our
first encounter. Who would have known that 10 years later, and many
states apart, the friendship would be stronger than most marriages..*S*.
We have shared many things in the time of our friendship, the birth of
children and the death of parents and everything in between. We have
had many laughs and many tears, thank goodness more laughs than tears.
I think the most touching time in my memory is when I found out my
mothers' cancer had returned. It had only been a few months before that
Michelle had lost her mother from the same illness. I know the pain she
must have felt every time we talked of my mother and her battle. It
must have been like reliving her ordeal all over again. Michelle is a
trooper though, and she stood by my side the whole time. My God, the
tears we shed over that.
Now with the good times....*S*. If I had a quarter for every time
that girl beat me unmercifully in Uno I would be a rich woman. LOL. We
would spend hours in Hawaii sitting at my kitchen table playing that
card game. I kept losing, but would continue to play just knowing one
day I would win...LOL. Never happened. I also remember the discussions
we would have about religon....*S*. My how my beliefs have changed
since then. We would sit for hours at a time and talk about anything
and everything.
For many years now we have been miles apart, the money we have spent
on long distance calls probably equals the federal deficit. But please
don't tell our hubbies. *S*
For many years our only connection was AT&T, God knows neither of us are
letter writers. Then we got the computer for Christmas, and AOL IM is
my life. My family can always tell when Michelle is online, they say I
type frantically and with a big smile on my face. It still amazes me
how just her words on a screen can bring me such comfort.
I can't say that we have a friendship. No, our bond is too strong to
call it a friendship. I would say that she is my soul sister. God knew
I would never have a sister by birth so he put Michelle in my life. We
always joke about being 80 years old and sitting on my front porch in
the rocking chairs and laughing about how our lives turned out. Well
hun, i am halfway there now, and can't wait to see how the other half of
our lives turn out. I love ya hun.
~My Soul Sister~
I knew from the moment we met,
that we were sister's of the heart,
and though we differ in temperment,
we've complimented each other from the start...
You've made me laugh till tears trail down,
and shared all my grief and sorrows,
your advice to me is always sound,
our friendship forever grows...
Although many years have come and gone,
all the yesterdays feels so close,
with everything yet to do, and already done,
You'll still be with me, my sister of my soul.
