38 Years of Friendship: A Journey of Love and Connection

This is what 38 years of friendship feels like: effortless, authentic, and genuine. It all began when our moms decided to be godmothers to their newborns. Fast forward 27 years, and we stood by each other as maids of honor. Three years later, we became godmothers to each other’s little ones. The countless moments we’ve shared over the years are just too precious to sum up in words.

Admiration Through the Years

When we were younger, I admired her adventurous spirit, her boldness, and her unique ability to bring laughter to everyone around her. That admiration hasn’t faded; now I appreciate how she’s managed to keep that zest for life even as she embraced adulthood. She has seamlessly woven her vibrant personality into her marriage, her kids, and her career.

The Evolution of Our Friendship

Throughout the years, our friendship has evolved. Although we haven’t lived in the same city for nearly 20 years, that distance has only deepened our connection. After all, geography might separate us physically, but it can’t touch our hearts. When you only get to see each other a few times a year, you learn to cherish every single moment.

We might not chat daily, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t share with her—nothing I haven’t already. Our conversations have grown from school crushes and homework struggles to home repairs and potty training, yet we still understand one another perfectly. We’ve navigated the awkwardness of braces, the pain of heartbreaks, the laughter of silly adventures, and the joys of marriage and motherhood together. This journey we’ve taken is so much more than friendship; it’s a bond shaped by shared experiences and the love that comes with growing up and aging together.

Embracing the Chaos of Motherhood

Now, we find ourselves as moms, often with messy hair and food stains on our clothes. (Let’s be real, those stains aren’t just from our kids!) When she visits, I don’t bother cleaning up. We’re not pretending our lives are flawless, but the love we have for each other is undeniable.

Our kids have formed such a strong bond that they genuinely believe they’re siblings. We’ve never corrected them on that because family isn’t just about blood; sometimes, the family we choose to create is even more meaningful than the one we’re born into.
