Friends

Last week one of my best friends lost her mother.  From the moment I received the news all I could think about was getting home to be there for her in her time of need.  Thankfully my father was able to help me book a last minute flight to Texas.  When I was there and she told me how glad she was that I was there it made me think, how many people have what I have?  CK, CL, and CH have been some of my closest friends since high school and before.  I have known CL for over 20 years and looking back some of the best memories in my live have been with her and the other C's.  While I have many other really great friends, some of which I would consider very close, the C's are the first ones I want to call when anything happens.  We are always there for each other any way we can be. 

While I was visiting we went out to dinner and talked about the "old times".  Our best memories are driving around aimlessly for hours listening to music and dancing in the car =).  I love that we have always stuck together through it all - weddings, divorces, engagements, moving, new jobs, and even a baby!  At the end of the day I always know they will be there for me no matter what and I consider them my family.

CK you are in my thoughts and I am only a call away if you need any thing! 

How about you?  Do you have any friendships like this?
