Dear Bestie,
We sort of lost each other when you had your first baby. But that is okay, because we found each other again and rebuilt an even stronger friendship. I don’t know how I can ever thank you for the friendship you have given me. I become overwhelmed with how much our friendship has helped me through this new season of life. It makes my heart happy and relieved that I have someone like you.
Becoming a mom for the first time was challenging. I know you went through it before I did and I failed my duty to be there for you. I think about it every day, because I know how I felt when I became a new mom. For that, I am sorry. You have been there for me every step of the way and I could not be more thankful.
Growing together (literally and metaphorically) through pregnancy with you was, a dream I’ll probably never be able to get over. It still boggles my mind, as I read the texts we sent each other that morning.
We talk every single day, even if it is just a quick check in during our morning coffee. Neither of us take it to heart when we don’t reply all day because at the end of the day we reconvene before bed. We understand that every day is something new and exciting (or exhausting).
Every girl may not have a sister, but every girl has a best friend. That one person they can go to and spew whatever is on their mind, without fear of being judged. The daily conversations and monthly lunch dates make me feel happy and get me out of the house, even when I don’t want to leave. Because sometimes, life gets heavy and I don’t want to get out of my sweats.
Recently, you got engaged. There are no words I have to express how I happy I am for you. Watching you plan your wedding and take charge of what you want. All while raising 2 beautiful babies, and handling your baking business. It is inspiring, because I could never. I don’t know how you maintain such balance with life.
We met because my husband introduced us after I graduated college and I needed a job. You explained to me what you did, and we both ended up hating our lives together. To put it nicely. I’ll never forget those phone calls in our cars, and dinner dates after work. To complain about the days we had. Or the one time, we went to Applebee’s and got drunk on cheap margaritas and not so good food.
The point of this letter was to just express how thankful I am to have you as my very best friend. Having a strong mom friend is something every woman needs. It is a gift.
I LUH YOU BIIIITCH! I AINT EVER GONNA STOP LOVIN YOU BIIIITCH!
