Bestie

Who’s your best friend mommy? Asked my 7 year old kiddo. This isn’t the first time she’s asked this. I would usually answer you or daddy. But now she wants ‘someone not from the family’ for an answer. And starts rattling off the names she knows – my colleagues, neighbours, my gym buddies, my girl-friends I catch up with.

Sadly my bestie isn’t know to her. She doesn’t stay in town nor do we meet even once a year. We are both busy adulting; navigating family, career and kids. But when we pause and chat, we talk and we talk like we were talking just yesterday. And yet we know each other like most won’t and got each other’s back, always. If there is one person I know who keeps me in her prayer – thats my girl!

So you are lucky if you have yours right in town. Hold on tight to that buddy of yours!
