Stop Getting OLDER DAMMIT!!

This is dedicated to my ride or die. This girl and I have been friends for 20 damn years. 20!! I never thought I would see the day that I made a friend and got to keep that friendship for so long. But here we are, against all odds.

I’ve written about this girl before and how amazing she is. But there is always room to write more. And from the looks of our friendship and how much we love each other you would think that we’re a thing.. like a chick thing. But we’re not. She is the most treasured friend I have ever had the privilege to call mine.

We been through some shit though, HA!! We have watched each other succeed, we have watched each other fall, and through it all we have cheered and bolstered each other up to keep striving to shove ahead. We’ve been pregnant at the same time…. twice. We’ve been through all of the firsts with our kids, I dunno how many times. We also have a shit ton of kids between us.

I have held her as she cried and cheered her on as she has surpassed every obstacle that life has thrown at her. I watched as she married the man that finally gave her the love and life that she deserves. I have threatened (and would gladly follow through) to murder those that have hurt her or degraded her. I have watched her flourish and thrive in a world that would rather chew a person up and spit them out.
