We don’t get together as often as we should.
Life has changed for all of us.
But years ago we got together all the time.
There were parties and dancing on tables. Nights out at bars with fake names like Kendal and Lana.
Long nights fueled by shots named “red headed slut”.
There were car accidents and weddings, bachelorette parties and more dancing and drinking than I can remember.
Now there are jobs and resposibilities, husbands and family. It’s no longer girls night out every night.
Those nights are long since gone, sigh.
Yet, when the text message appeared that one of them was in town for one night only. We rallied together over dinner and drinks. And we sat at the bar cocktails in hand, my “Charlotte”, “Samantha” and “Miranda”, like a moment hadn’t passed.
My girls, who will always be my girls, despite time and distance and distraction.
Because, really, isn’t that what friendship is about? The ability to come together, to put the space aside, to be there for each other at a moments notice and to laugh over a drink or two.
Does it really have to be more complicated than that?
The prompt was write a post telling the backstory of one of your instagram photos.
No it doesn't. I know exactly what you mean. It will be years and when I see a good friend we just pick up where we left off.
Isn't that just the best feeling in the world, being able to pick up right where you left off.
Oh, I agree with you. I miss the days of just being able to sit for hours without worrying that I need to get home to the kids. I love my kids, but I miss my freedom sometimes too. And those friends that we are able to connect with no matter when or where — priceless. Found you via MamaKat!
I miss those days too, sometimes that's why it's so nice to get together when you can.
Lots of truth in this. I'm *ahem* 20 years out of the college scene, and I still make time for reunions with my girls. It's important.
It really is important to stay in touch with your girls.
