TWO FRIENDS

I found this picture tonight.  And the frame it was in is hysterical. I must have thought so when I bought it, because it fits these two perfectly.  I had forgotten about it.  I think this was from their middle school years.

They are both girls who "like to share their feelings".  Lovely & loving. Sweet. Independent. Hard-working. Sympathetic. Conscientious. Dedicated. Aware.  AWARE!  Never a question about how they feel about anything.  They will TELL YOU!  I love that about them both.  These two could always make you pay attention, believe me!!!!!

They first met at two or three, when their older siblings were in kindergarten - INSTANT friendship.  The two families became instant friends, as well.

Twenty-two years later, they are roommates, in a cute house in South Austin (with another sweet friend).  And they take care of each other.  I called a couple of nights ago.  DAUGHTER said she was playing Skip-Bo with FRIEND, and being silly. My stomach and my heart  flip/flopped.  Still the same friends.  So glad.

Nothing ever tops good friends.  Ever.

I promise to NOT be sappy anymore, for a while.
