I went out last night with my oldest friend, Faith, we have been friends since first grade in Ms. Walden's class at Harper. Faith and I have grown apart over the years, but never really lost touch. We have had those disagreements that every friendship has, but have maintained throughout. In April we really began to become close again, and from there she began working in my office and so on and so forth. I would like to think that true friends can stay friends with even the biggest and longest distance between them.
I am not one to make a lot of friends, maybe my trust issues, but I know that I can count on her and I hope she feels the same for me. She has become the most amazing mother I could have ever imagined and when i call her to ask what I should do for my child that is lying or my child that won't listen, she doesn't act like I should already know the answer but guides me in the right direction.
So we made a "resolution" of sorts to at least go out one night a month without husbands or children. So here's to a new year again with old friends that make the best new friends!
