last week, i had a free day. so i hopped the hampton jitney to the beach, to crash my mom's ladies week with her two best friends from childhood. each summer, they spend a week together on some fabulous, fun vacation, and for the past few summers they've been staying at a cottage on the beach of the north shore of long island. this summer marks their 50th anniversary of being bffs. fifty years. they make me so happy, the three of them, telling their insane stories, reminiscing and reveling in their shared history. they are a testament the power of friendship and ladylove that can exist in this world. my only hope is that one day, my friends and i can be like them; talking non-stop for a whole week, forgetting even to go to dinner because we're so busy being together. yes. i think i'd like that very much.
friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art; it has no survival value. rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. - c.s. lewis
