You want to hear something really cool?  I have known my best friend for as long as she has been alive, almost 32 years.  And her 2 older brothers were like my brothers.  We grew up together, their family and mine.  We did vacations together, sports, the pool, school, church and countless other activities.  Our parents were even in each other’s weddings.  Not many people can say that!

Here comes the really neat part, now our kids play together.  Uh huh, we all have children now and they all play and do the very same activities that we used to do.  We were even all at the beach  last week and had a damn good time laughing at our kids throwing light sticks around after dark and sitting on the lifegaurds chair.  They even got to ride the rides together.

And you know those embarrassing pictures?  The bathtub ones.  We have so many of those.  How the hell did 5 kids fit in a bathtub at the same time?  But there we were.  Bubbles, floating body parts and all smiles.   It is just so damn cool to see our kids together scrub a dub dubbing the same way!  I can’t way for them to laugh at the pictures when they have their own.

I guess I am pretty darn lucky in this way.  To know someone your whole life, it is so special.  No cattiness, no fakeness, no weirdness or tension.  We are who we are, and we have such a comfortableness.  It is really awesome!
