I love this! At (almost) 64 years old, I have a dear friend that I met in kindergarten. That's 59 years ago! We were in the same class until 6th grade, and never had a junior high or high school class together. She moved out of state when we were 16, but that didn't deter our bond. I named my first daughter after her. She's joining our family vacation in July because my kids absolutely love her, and she them. It's uncommon to have had a friend for so long, and I cherish it. And actually, my 29 year-old daughter has a best friend that she met as an infant! Keep it going!
How wonderful for you! I thought I'd be the oldie in the group with a 45 year old friendship that's still going strong. She's my people. I love her for that.
Katie, I'm so happy for you and Paige. Friends keep you real and grounded.
I LOVE this topic and that you quoted Ann Friedman of all people who I feel like is so good at talking about this, too! Friends are the best, and they were always there before the big romantic relationships. <3 Great post, Katie. Always an awesome start my day to see your Tuesday posts in my inbox.
This is lovely, all of it: this essay, this lesson, your friendship with Paige, your weekend celebration!
The older I get, and the more I come to be myself, the more treasured my friendships are. This Saturday I'll be spending time with one of those friends; she and I hit 20 years last August. She could be part of my Golden Girls set up for sure. 👭 ⏩ 👵👵
This was really beautiful. I'm so glad you have a Paige in your life! Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story. I look forward to your special day!
