Whoever came up with the acronym, BFF (Best Friends Forever) must have looked into a crystal ball and seen the "Laurels". The year was 1973. Six young women came together - from different paths, different family situations, different personalities - and yet created a bond that would last forever. These six were my Laurels. Debbie, Susan, Jill, Diana, Shelly and me. We led our own lives and yet, were always together. The church may have brought us together, but the bond of sisterhood we share, has kept us together. Through the years, we've married (and some divorced), moved and moved back home, seen each other all the times, sometimes and hardly ever - but last Saturday night - you would never have believed that it wasn't 1973 again. OK - so there were a few gray hairs here and there, maybe a few (or more) pounds here and there, and yes.....menopause was part of our discussion - but the laughter and love were still there. IT ALWAYS WILL BE.
