Dear BFF,
I have fond memories of the early days of our friendship. From pushing paper at the office, hour and half long lunches, warm summer nights in Los Angeles, running miles by the beach then stuffing our face immediately after, our impromptu trip to Hawaii, our double date in Vegas and all the carefree-ness that I easily took for granted. I know that we were both different then. We were those people who existed before motherhood and that is what makes your friendship even more important to me. I wish someone would have told me at that bar where they were serving those delicious apple martinis how essential your friendship would mean to me 16 years down the road. How your friendship would help me to find contentment, clarity and understanding during some tough times. I know that I probably wouldn't have believed that person anyway for I was young, dumb and took many things for granted. Years go by and stuff gets hard. Sh*t just got real: marriage, pregnancies, babies, moving, tight budgets, the aging process and struggles with fulfillment. Many days I feel like a complete disaster, a failure even but I know you are never too far away to lend a helping and encouraging hand. Your friendship and sisterhood comforts me everyday and I just want to say thank you. Let's promise not to wait another many years to get together for a few laughs, good food and great company. I'll try to pretend for a minute that I'm a good planner so we can get the next trip on the books. Dear friend you really are a rare find a beautiful gem on in the inside and out. I miss you and the family so much already. Thanks for letting me capture these moments for you and I hope you enjoy them for all the rest of your days.
With love,
BFF
