God only know’s when I’ll see you again
March 2, 2008 – 11:35 pmWe sat there this morning, munching on bagels and sipping on coffee as we caught each other up on our lives. It’s only been three weeks since we last all saw each other, but it is amazing how much can happen. Car wrecks, surprise trips and announcing the sex of a new niece or nephew. I look at these girls and I marvel at how far we’ve come and still how much further we have yet to go in life.
It reminds me of the weekend brunches on "Sex and the City", where Carrie and Samantha and Charlotte and Miranda all get together. But to try to fit the three of us into their character molds . . . well, I’d probably be mostly Samantha with a dash of Carrie. You’d have to ask the others who they feel they’d be. But the older we get, the more "adult" our lives become. Kind of crazy to think in a few years, we’ll be thirty. In less time than that, we’ll be attending our 10 year high school reunion.
I have such wonderful friends. Not just Kate and Aja, but Sarah and Vanessa and Lizzie and Jessa too. It scares me a little to think of how much can change in the next year and a half. I worry that I will "get out" next October and feel like I’ve lost some ground. Really, true friendships aren’t about gaining, losing or maintaining ground. You find that common ground with someone and no matter what happens, that common ground stays right where you left it. Break ups, make ups, jumping oceans or giving birth, it changes you but enhances the friendships - if they are true.
I know that there will be Friday evenings with wine and Sunday morning brunches to keep us close. Just don’t lose my number, kay?
