Friends Till The End!!!

Today was a great day for me. I didn't have to work today, so I spent the entire day with my best friend of 42 years. We had lunch then afterwards we exchanged Christmas presents. (We always do it early because the last couple weeks before the holidays are quite busy for both of us) Then we sat by the fireplace relaxing for the afternoon with good wine and alot of great conversation. I love days like this. We have been best friends since we were both 7 years old. We went to school together, hung out together after school. She is godmother to all of my children. We still get together a couple times a month and spend the whole day together. In between our visits we talk on the phone, and boy can she talk. Everytime we're on the phone together, my kids will call and say, "Who were you on the phone with, Betty? Because I've been trying to call you for a couple of hours now!" They already know before they even ask the question because she is the only one I talk on the phone to like that. She is more like a sister to me than a friend, We've shared so many things. And all my kids call her Aunt Betty. Friends come in and out of your life, but this one came into mine at a very early age and has stayed my best friend for all of these years. We were best friends as kids, throughout are adult life, we'll be together when we're old and gray, until the day comes when one of us finally dies. Yep, friends til the end.
