Best Friends FOREVER!
According to Google the average lifespan of a friendship is 10 years.
Some shorter.
Some longer.
Some.
FOREVER!
If you have a friend that you consider family. Well, I would consider you mighty blessed.
These types are friends are the ones you can go to anytime. There are no holiday hours, evening hours, or opening hours. They are there for you 24/7/365. And the other magical thing about these friendships. Nothing is ever too small to go to them with.
These friends go out of their way to support, encourage, and spoil you.
Sometimes these friendships are across country. Which isn’t fun until you need a free place to visit ;)
Sometimes these friendships are right up the road. And if that is the case. Then I would consider you especially blessed!
Friendships can be formed over tragedy, common interests, or just being in the same kindergarten class. However they are formed if you know you have something special make them a priority.
How? Spoil them with notes, photos, memories, gifts, a random text, really anything. Encourage them to be the best version of themselves they can be - help them overcome the next challenge. Another way, CELEBRATE THEM!
These two took a few moments to spend the evening CELEBRATING one another! Can you imagine having a friend from elementary school…who lives right up the road…who has been there for everything…AND WHO IS ALSO PREGNANT WITH YOU???
These two are having babies around the same time. Their babies get to grow up together. They get to start off automatically with a BEST FRIEND FOREVER!
How blessed.
Steph & Chelsea, it was an absolute JOY spending the evening with you and your matching bumps. Continue to laugh, cry, and celebrate together.
