So I'm talking with the best and dearest friend of mine tonight about today's latest status, and she says to me (in regards to my grandfather who has cancer and is finally ending his struggle with it) in her own version of "its almost over he won't have to suffer anymore" by using our lovely realistic terms and humor - so anywho she says to me "just remember its nature hun".
to which i giggle and reply; "yeah that's nature - she sure is a bitch just like a whole lot of ex-wives"
This is how we speak to one another to help each other in our time of need or better yet the need to hear the other one's own version of "Words of Wisdom" - like we're even old enough to pass for that type of knowledge. We both have seen our fair share of shitty situations and the even shitty-er outcomes and kept our heads on our shoulders long enough to live thru it and tell the tail and pass on our own worldly advice to one another, probably better than even our own mothers - at times- ever could.
One of the greatest things about her is that no matter what, she has something that is truly ingenious to say. Well at least that's how i see it. Needless to say our conversations - even 24hrs apart- seem to almost always last at minimum 3 to 4 hrs and when our husbands ask, "Hey who are you on the phone with" we tell them who it is, and even though the two men have never met they each reply in response "Ooooohhh well I'll say goodnight to you now then...." or "God i feel like I'm married to her too now sheesh"
Good friends are hard to find and even harder to keep.
We each have a different outlook on life and yet its still the same if that even makes any bit of sense. So right now I've set this page up to just get some relief much the same as she has, and i feel like I've sort of jipped her idea - but damn it, it was a good one......so thanks girl! I know you're reading this and laughing your ass off right now, so live it up as i aim to please with humor - you know i missed my calling.....keep reading as I can assure you from here on out my sign is going up out front - i see it in Pink - pink, pink, blink-ity pink and it says NO VACANCY....
yet the crazy shit just doesn't end ha ha ha!!!!!
i wonder what tomorrow will bring...........................................
