Wordless/Wordful Wednesday . . . Happy Birthday to My Old Chum

So, today is my BFF’s birthday!

I still remember the day I met her.  It was at the local library.  At story time.  The summer before we were due to go middle school.  I was there with my little sister.  She was there on her own.  Maybe pretending she had a little sister so she could walk in to story time without shame!  We awkwardly exchanged a couple of words and realised we were both the same age and would be starting the same middle school in a couple of weeks.

Now, what I most remember about meeting her that day was that she was as tall as me.  I couldn’t believe it!  You see, in primary school I was the tallest girl and that’s the way it had always been . . . and I thought that was they way it would always be!

Two weeks later, I started middle school and was disappointed to find out that I wasn’t in the same class as any of friends from primary school.  Gutted, I showed up to my new class to discover my new BFF was in the same class, smiling and waving away at me!  See, she’s shameful!

We’ve been the best of friends ever since . . . well, besides the odd falling out here or there during those school years.  And, she’s been there for me through the years as my biggest cheerleader!  We’ve laughed together, shared crazy hairstyles together, danced together, cried together, worried together, gossiped together, babysat together, farted together, grown old together and so the list goes on!

Though there are now thousands of miles between us, we’ve always kept in touch — which is made easier these days thanks to modern technology.

So, here’s to you!  My old chum!  My old mate!  My bezzie!  Raise your glasses with me and wish her a happy, happy birthday!

Here’s to you
Here’s to me
Best friends we’ll always be.
But if we should disagree
To Hell with you
And cheers to me!
