Growing up I always had a few friends that were important to me. I was never really part of the IN crowd although everyone knew who I was. This has followed me into adulthood. I have a few friends that I consider to be my best friends. They are the ones who we do not have to see each other, or even talk to each other for long periods of time but we will be able to pick up right where we left off. Peggy, Leslie, Djai, Kayla (Bug), Stephanie, Wendy, Jamie. It is wonderful having these women in my life.
I read something one time about nurturing your female friendships. I always thought that I got along better with males but I came to realize that this isn’t the case, I am just not close to many women. The ones that I am truly close to are so special in my life. I do not need a large group of women to maintain my identity but those few special ones keep me grounded in an acceptance and love for each other. These women are a blessing beyond words.
I also want to mention that this does not include the bond that I have with my FRamily. Those women…Pua, Jackie, Soo, Sara, Amy, my mom (Cathy), and Buna are on a completely different level and they make my heart happy as my Ohana.
I can’t express my love for all of the special people who have touched my life in any way. They have shaped my life into who I am and I feel blessed to have them come into my life.
