I have my bff from about 25 years ago. We've been thru so much together.
She lost a young child to cancer, I was in a terrribly abusive relationship.
She was pregnant with her second child when her daughter died. one
day after the funeral she had emergency surgery for an etopic pregnancy.

She has since adopted a child and is now going thru a nasty divorce.(there
is a point to all this, be patient). She really messed up and was caught
drunk and now has supervised visitation with her daughter. I am a
supervisor. Which means Ive spent alot of quality time with her and
her daughter recently. I feel like Ive been given this gift of time with
them so Im trying to embrace it rather than focus on how busy I am and
what a pita this is, ya know.

Im proud of how great she is doing. I keep reminding her that I will
turn her in if she doesnt. anyway, Im thankful I have her in my life
even though it is a struggle at times, does that make sense????
