Good Friends

Carolyn and I have been friends for almost forty years. There isn't a lot we didn't share when we were teens and as we have grown up and had our families, we have remained friends. (As an aside, Ellen and I were in the same second grade class so we have known each other a long time too!)

Today Carolyn and Eric are celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary. Last night, some of us gathered at Crispo Restaurant in NYC to share a meal, toast the couple and catch up on what we've all been through in that time. Nancy, Ellen, Nadine and I were all bridesmaids in the wedding, so the fact that four of the six of us were there is a testament to the staying power of those friendships.

We have a history. It is long. And we are fortunate to know what it is like to know someone for more than half your life. For the judgments to be non-existent.

For god's sake, we went through puberty, first loves, second loves, third...you get the picture. Carolyn and Ellen went to camp and college together. THERE is some serious history.

Although we all live in different places and although our lives have had trials and tribulations, we still gather, laugh and love.

Here's to old and good friends. We're lucky to have each other.

Emma Update
I took this from Jeanine's FB status:
Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers. Everything went well with Emma's surgery. She was so brave and such a trooper. She has a long road ahead as they now need to do further monitoring as we wait for her to seize. Her next surgery is scheduled for next Monday so please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
A good friend and a glass of wine
Someone to say it's going to be alright
A good friend and a glass of wine
A little pick me up to get me through the night
We talk trash and we laugh and cry
That kind of therapy, money can't buy
Every now and then, every now and then
Every girl needs
A good friend and a glass of wine
