My girls
I was lucky, extremely lucky. I had the best friends in highschool, and they lasted a long time after that too.
e m i l y, m e l a n i e , and l i s a are names that belong together. These three have been my girls for the past 6 or 7 years. Countless sleepovers, hours on the telephone and sharing every major milestone since we were fifteen has made us the people we are now.
I couldn't have done those years without them. And really, I'm not sure I can I do these. We won't ever be the same, I know that. I probably won't ever sleep in Emily's bed that has too many pillows. Melanie and I will never get groceries at Meijer again. And I will never take the beautiful drive out to Lisa's just to sit on the tall seats in the kitchen and eat something amazing that Lisa has made.
So I tell myself that I need to grow up, make new friends, create a life for myself out here. So I do meet new people, and we talk and laugh and we have a good time...but all of my stories have my girls in them...and this makes me think that I will probably never believe that it's over.

Putting down new roots takes a long time, and the new friendships you develop usually come from unexpected places when you reach out, but you will be amazed at how they enrich your life. Just don't ever let go of the friendships that made you who you are. They remain a steady constant - someone you can call at the drop of a hat, who understands you in ways no one else can, simply because you have that history together.
