BFF's

My best friend, Janelle and I have known each other from the bus stop in elementary school. Throughout the years, our lives have changed so much and certainly not how we imagined they would.
At first, we used to chuckle how we were only friends out of geographical  convenience. But now that we have both moved around a bit, one of us across the damn country... It sparked a new definition. Sometime after high school, we agreed that our friendship was based on our mutual dislike for particular things and  people. Still partly true.  However now, I have a new clarity regarding how two unlikely people could remain friends for so long.
We both are incredibly loyal.  A quality I most respect.  We have each others back- always.  We've never hesitated to wave our fingers and raise voices to defend each other. People have thrown their stones at me in the past and Janelle has  picked them up and thrown them back.
Another thing, We love each others families. Janelle and I are the two biggest Mama's girls you'll ever meet. Our mother's loved us both even when Janelle and I didn't love each other. I think they knew we'd fix it. Janelle was a sister to my sisters, even fighting with them sometimes. And now, even though Bailey calls her Aunt Janelle. It's really like he has two Moms. And ones a little stricter... He's lucky and I'm lucky to have her.
I have very few memories that don't include my best friend. And the rest are ridiculous, hilarious, great memories  that I hope to share on this blog. Oh geez, I've gone sappy... whatever.
