Firefly Lane

"That was the thing about best friends. Like sisters and mothers, they could piss you off and make you cry and break your heart, but in the end, when the chips were down, they were there, making you laugh even in your darkest hours." ~Firefly Lane It was no secret, we had our fights. Jenn drove me nuts. She would turn to me for advice, I would give it. She would ignore it. But every now and then she would listen. And it kept me going with hope and kept me giving the advice. We would go months, and once almost a year without talking. But when I needed her, she was there. She was always there. I forgot she loved nonjudgmental and unconditionally. If you ticked her off, you could give her a few days and then call and she would always answer. Only once, in our 20+ years of friendship, did she not answer the phone. It was 2 years ago. Her chips were down and I could not be there for her. I am so thankful I was there this time in her darkest hours. I know she is dancing and kissing and laughing. It came through in a picture I took yesterday of some of her closest friends. It was not planned, I did not see it until I took it. The angle, the light, she was there.
