My best friend from my first post college job and I just spent the last hour and a half IM'ing each other. It was great----you have to understand that when I first moved back to the state in 1998 after husband #1 decided he wasn't happy anymore, she and I spent a long time online just sorting things out. Now we just try to email once in a while to keep up, with our schedules. I love my husband and family dearly, but nothing takes the place of old friends.
I have two really good ones-----the one I was talking with tonight, and my old college roommate, who I talked with a couple of weeks ago for the first time in months, and just talking with them, the years melt away. Jobs and responsibilities are different now, and so are our outlooks on life to a great degree. But even after long periods of time apart, we can still talk like we have never had to part.
Makes this old broad feel great.
Even though now we no longer talk about our sex lives or boyfriends, as old married women, there is still plenty to talk about.
And even in trading pictures of children not seen since they were babies, and are now teenagers, somehow the feeling of being old is fleeting.
Because we have reminded each other that we have purpose.......
And we have laughed........
