When you have a friend who is as close as I am to my
Sister Savvy…where she goes I go.
And it’s not because we have even talked about this trip
so much really, I barely knew the itinerary until a few days ago…..its’ more
than that.
It’s
that with this girl I follow her heart and her heart is going placesJ
Soon it will be in Australia and I am so happy for her. It
has been a long journey to get there but she will land safe and sound with her
family by her side. All 7 of them together.
She and I have been through our own journeys alongside
each of our individual journeys…..and I love the places we have gone together. It
summed it all up for me when I got her sweet text today as she boarded the
plane saying “Goodbye! I love you!” It made me smile in the mist of a chaotic
day.
Friendship, real friendship is such a beautiful, rich gift
in life. If you are lucky you get to experience it and keep it. And just like
marriage it is hard work and a commitment, but worth every ounce of energy. And
just like a love affair, or a marriage, or a parenting relationship it is
precious and fine and true.
And when you get it, and get it right, you wonder how you
could possibly ever live without it in your life?
Like a beautiful breeze on your face in front of the
ocean.The perfect shade of blue.
So my dear friend-I will truly and sincerely miss you because
you are so far away and especially these last few months (and really our entire lives since adulthood) we
have been so deeply connected on so many different levels at different times.
Being in different time zones is always a little strange even though we live
long distance always.
I bid you joy and happiness. I will always be there for
you and proud of you. I will always be the one sitting in our white spa robes envisioning
all that I know you deserve.
And asking you for every wonderful piece of yourself. To
have and to keep for meJ
