My heart is heavy today as I remember my dearest friend, Carol. We became best friend when we were just 13 years old, navigating junior high and dreaming about the future. Our lives were so intertwined back then--best friends who ended up marrying best friends, and we stood by each other in those weddings, believing they would last forever. Life had other plans, but our friendship always endured.
Even though time and distance kept us from staying in touch as much as we should have, the love and connection we shared never faded. You were like a sister to me, and I'll always hold those memories close--laughing till we cried, sharing secrets and dreams, and knowing that no matter what, we'd always be there for each other.
Today, my heart aches. I miss you so much. Carol, I love you. I'm holding you in my heart always--until we meet again.
Lynne!
