What is a Best Friend? Can you have more then one Best Friend? I'm going to explore that today.
What is a Best Friend?
According to Websters
best friend
noun
1. An especially close and trusted friend.
- "She's my best friend."
- "We have been best friends since high school."
- 2. a person's most desirable or valuable possession or resource "Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but gold is more affordable."
To me it means:A best friend is someone who is there for you through thick and thin. It's someone who listens and understands you. Someone you can call anytime about anything you feel you need to 'tell' or 'vent'. It's someone who will stand up for you in the times when you need it most, keep your secrets close, and someone you can trust with your life.
Someone who will help you out anytime you need them. At 3am you get your heart crushed and they will be there supporting you. Talking you away from the cliff when you are depressed and ready to give up on everything. Someone who will go to the 24 hr McDonald's or Burger King to get a milk shake or the 7-11 for a slurpee when you are sick.
Someone who is more family then friend. Someone who knows what you think and feels what you feel.
Can you have more then one Best Friend? I do think you can have more then one Best Friend. The relationship won't be the same. Each one is unique. One will just be a friendship vibe and one may feel like a family vibe. Some may think they have a Best Friend then realize they are just a close friend, not the one person you want to confide in or help them hide the bodies. Lol
My Best Friend Shawna and I.
Shawna and I are two peas in a pod. We are more sisters then friends. She hurt her ankle and I flew from North Carolina to Florida and stayed 3 weeks to help her out. There was no thinking about it. She needed me and I was there. Im glad I did because now I have my Bella. My beautiful girl and my princess, my best friend, my gang gang. Lol
Shawna and I talked every day on the phone when I moved to North Carolina. What is strange is we have a bond that is almost like a twin bond. If I get hurt she can feel it and vise versa. Its hard to explain the how and why if the bond. But its there.
She came to North Carolina on vacation and fell in love with it. She moved up here with me. Whats funny is we are so much alike yet so different. We disagree on the fact camo is a color. Lol
We both see the same doctor. I call him Dr Cutie. Thats how he's programed in my phone lol. I had a pain stimulator installed in my lower back in 2017. That was life changing for sure. For the better. So I had her do a trial for the pain stimulator and she liked it. So Dr Cutie installed one in her lower back as well. I helped take care of her so that she didn't mess up the leads in her back. It was so successful she had one installed in her neck. I made sure she did not do anything that would mess up the leads in that on as well. Because that is what BFF's do.
I do most of the cooking. I use a lot of spices. Everglades Seasoning is a must have at all times in my house. She swears I need a spice intervention. I have 2 spice cabinets and 2 baking cabinets. Shawna does most of the laundry. Which I hate to do. So it works out great. I took her panning for gold. Its so much fun. We didn't find any that day but the hunt is what's fun. I love to take pictures so we go all over our area and explore and take pictures. The view here in North Carolina is so beautiful.
For Christmas we shopped for our grandkids all year long so we go back to Florida for Christmas with a truck load of presents for the grandkids and family. Its nice that all our kids and grandkids live in the she town. So sharing the cost of the trip made it possible for us to go. This year I didn't get to go to Florida for Christmas 😥. Shawna had to go down there early because mama Faye was having surgery on her hip and Shawna helped take care of her. So I knew she would be there a while. She has been down there almost a year now. 😭
Unfortunately right before she left I hurt my right shoulder. Well in January 2022 I found out I was having surgery in February 2022. Shawna was helping her daughter watch the kids because their grandpa was ill. So she couldn't come home. We talked everyday on the phone. She helped get the grandkids enrolled in homeschooling. So now she is doing homeschooling with her grandson everyday. I think more people should do homeschooling. You are in control of their education and they won't be indoctrinated and radicalized by liberal teachers but that's a different post lol. With gas prices so high and the prices of everything has gone up so much she can't come home Oct 4th for my next surgery. Thats her birthday as well. I know we will talk on the phone everyday. She checks in on me.
I'm so thankful to have Shawna as my sister/best friend. I wish everyone could have a friendship like ours. However I do miss having her here. I miss doing stuff with her. I miss dressing up like Winnie-the-Pooh and a unicorn and walking the dogs at night and freaking out the cars driving by. I miss the cutting up and laughing all the time. But no matter how far away she is we are still BFF.
