Graduation Day 1993. I remember that day so vividly. Standing in an unfamiliar place; the familiarity of the life that had gone before, the uncertainty of the life waiting ahead. My best friend has been with me through both. Growing up, sharing the turbulence of the teenage years, difficult times in both our lives: losses, loves, moves, children....
We are so in tune that our children were born almost exactly one year apart. Maddison and J.T. are winter babies with Maddison born one year and three weeks before and Abby and Hunter are September babies. Hunter is 1 year and five days older than Abby.
Do you know I don't even know her phone number? I just push the little button on my phone with her name on it. Tomorrow I will press the "Angel" button to call and say Happy Birthday! To say thank you for all the sleepovers, lunches and shopping trips. For the funny emails and the "just checking on you" calls. I will wish her a Happy 33rd year on earth and thank her for sharing all 33 of them with me. I look forward to a lifetime of friendship through ups, downs, PMS, menopause and weak bladders. Because I love her, even if she does have funky taste in shoes.

happy birthday to your Angel - how lovely to have a lifelong friend like that!
Ooh, I love your graduation shot! You're both so pretty! Happy birthday to Angel.
Best wishes for a fabulous birthday Angel.
Happy birthday to Angel. I don't need to tell you how lucky you are to have a fabulous long-term friend like her, because it's obvious you already know.
Love the graduation pic!
School friends are the best friends. Because you've known each other since you were dorky kids ( I'm now a dorky adult) you never have to be anyone your not around them. My best friend from grade 6 (12yr old) and I are still best mates today and I know I can always tell her ANYTHING and she'll still love me. Your lucky to have each other. Hope she had a great day
Love the picture,
Em
Happy birthday. It's lovely to read of you long and honest friendship.
How special. I wish her a happy day too, and look forward to hearing tales of you both and some of your past history.
