Guest Book

Standing at the door repeating the same sentence trying new ways to
say it with each guest going thought the door…..
“Please sign the guest book , first two rows reserved for family”
Trying to do my task with a happy heart……my feet were killing me,
sucker slipping up and rolling ( come on we all know what I’m taking
about )
Trying to make sure the bad choice I had chosen to wear…adjusting so
cleavage wouldn’t show…  or worse nipples…… Whore!

My best girlfriend had recently lost her beloved father, I loved him
too, such a darling man.  Becky had taken care of her father during
the past two years giving him such loving care, always without
complaining. Watching this process knowing how she cared for him, I
am impressed with the kind of woman I saw in her during that time. She
is the girlfriend you could do anything with , knowing no matter how
heinous or obnoxious the situation it would go to the grave. No one
one, I mean no one, will have your back like she has… ( we have some
story’s).

She is the only girlfriend I have ever had , always cheering me on,
without the almost impossible girlfriend quality of never being
jelouse  ( we call it green jelly bean) she truly only wants the best
for me. And has seen me through a lifetime,being there through some of
my darkest hours.

We have similar upbringings raised in very religious  homes, we swear
the same mothers!  That’s a whole other story.  Both adore our
fathers and find humor in irreverent behavior.

Watching her world unfold as the people she has known throughout her
life,  passing through the threshold I found one common
thing……we all have a past, as close as I am to her I felt like a
spectator, these people who show up in times of darkness and touch
in, bringing us something so necessary in the mending of a broken
heart.  We feel connected, grounded and most of all comforted and
loved.

As Cliche as it might sound, connect with people you love.

YOU be the one who shows up for them,  Standing beside your friend to
face their personal darkness will serve you ten fold. It has been an
honor to be there for her.I saw a new side of an old friend today, as much as you think you know about your girlfriends, I met a new part today.

Peace out bitches!
