More words of wisdom

During my life I have had a few good friends. In high school it was Carol. We were inseperable for 4 years and had some amazing times. Then I moved to Minnesota (from NY) and had Debbie, whom I had known since I was 13 or so. We both summered at Chautauqua, waitressing, hanging out and partying. Then she got a great job at Dulles and moved East. By this time I had met my future husband and we married and settled down in St Paul. But as mental illness took over , he became more difficult and demanding of my time and friends were few and hard to find. And with 4 kids and my busy schedule that was ok. then came the farmgirls. And especially Ellen and Is. They offered me friendship and support at all times (even slightly intoxicated as I escaped my stressful reality). And here I have Susie, a co-worker and amazing friend. Friday, after a hard night at the homestead Thursday she offered me her shoulder to cry on and kind words of advise. Her simple "If he knew better , he'd do better" will carry me down the future turbulent roads I will travel. So you three wonderful women I will call my NMW friends. What is an NWM friend? No Matter What friend. The friend that sees you at your worst and stays to help. WHo sees your faults and loves ya the same. Who tells ya the way it is even though the truth is painful and then helps you back up. You are three of the most amazing women I have ever met and am lucky to call my friends. I will always be your NMW friend!
