There are two people in my life that at any point I can call them and they will be there for me. Two. I consider myself lucky to have more then one.
Margaret. We have been best friends for a very long time. Since 9th grade. Half our life. We are the type of friends that will get on your nerves because we can finish each others sentences and have a conversations with just looks. In high school we really couldn't have been more different. The choices we made couldn't have been further from each other. But we were with each other each step of the way. We never missed a beat. She's my soul sister. She gets me. She doesn't judge me, she is honest with me, she will break me down and build me back up and makes me a much better person. She's real. She loves me. Neither of us have many girlfriends. And that's all by choice. We can get along with anyone and fit in any crowd. For me...I wont speak for her...its hard to have friendship with others when I have someone like her. I compare others to her. Like Mag wouldn't do that or she would think that was funny. It's kinda like once you buy something name brand its hard to go back to the generic. It's hard to explain. I know Maggie and I will be friends until we are little old biddies. She makes me a better person.
Jacque. She is such a power house. Her affect in my life is unreal. She makes me a better wife and mother. She always has the best advice and always knows what to say and when to say it. She speaks to my heart and puts it in a way where I do not feel offended. She's an old soul. She's such an amazing wife and mother. I look up to her and the things she does. She doesn't pretend to be perfect and points out her own flaws. She is always the voice of reason. She takes so much pride in her life and that's something I look up to. She doesn't push anything on me when our views are different. She states her facts and leaves it at that. She doesn't back down. Jacque is so strong. Stronger then she knows. Smarter then she knows. More amazing then she knows.
With this year being the hardest year so far in my life. These two women have picked me up, brushed me off, and put me back on my feet. Over and over. They will protect me, love me, and help me no matter what. They do not have to agree with me. They might want to shake me and scream at me. But they will never leave my side. I love these ladies so much. Not sure where I would be with out them. A true friend is so hard to find. Again....I'm lucky I have two!
