"Reconnected with Girlfriends
It's kinda miraculous, I just reconnected with my best friends. That sounds weird doesn't it? Why should best friends have ever lost touch in the first place?

I met them both when I was in 8th grade and moved to a new town. We were best friends through high school.

After high school, I went to college, E got married, and C went to community college and got close with a different group of friends. So in the pre-Facebook days, out of sight was out of mind.

C and I have had a life-long friendship where I have had to de-friend her for periods of years 'never to speak again' because she is pretty out there, toxic, says whatever she thinks, completely insensitive, cuts to the core. She is the funniest person alive, basically a caring person, but I had to ban her from being around my family because she is so obnoxious.

E is a very nice, sweet person. I really don't know why we stopped being friends once she got married. She did come to my wedding, too. But, I lived an hour away. We had separate lives. Raised our families. And had occasional phone calls over the years. I kept trying to make plans to get together, and she would blow it off. I assumed there was some reason she wouldn't see me.

So, two weeks ago, when I was running away from my husband. I called C and made up with her. We got together that day and called E and she joined us. It was just like old times, instant BFFs, like nothing had changed.

Now, I'll be seeing them this weekend and we are talking about taking a trip together this summer. I am so thankful to have my friends back! Being separated from my husband, I instantly found others to be with.

I'll tread lightly with C, knowing her flaws, I won't give her ammunition.
