Today I am writing about my dearest friend, Carol. I met her 10 years ago, and she quickly became one of the most important women in my life.
Carol is an identical twin. Her sister is named Carolyn. I cannot recall how many times I have teased her about this. After all, back when she was born, times were different. And with an identical twin, she may actually be Carolyn and not Carol at all! (lol)
She has told me many stories of her mother, affectionately called Ma, and I wish I’d gotten to meet her. She sounds like an amazing woman.
Carol is always a phone call away. She is never too busy to answer a call, or listen to my happy chattering, or hold me in her arms when I cry.
I’ve told her many times, that she is not just a friend, but a second mother to me. Someone who loves me regardless of my short comings.
She has said I am another daughter for her. I wasn’t looking for her, and she wasn’t looking for me, and yet, there we were ten years ago, falling into each others paths.
Sometimes I believe that God finds people we should have in our lives. So he drops us into a situation and then lets us see how things work out.
So it was with Carol and me. We met, and decided that we really wanted to be in each others lives.
What a blessing that has been.
It’s wonderful to have someone like her in your life, so happy for both of you.
I agree with you that sometimes, people meet because they should – it’s a fate thing, I guess.
A good friend is worth her/his weight in gold.
