My girl

I have a Brooke!

Brooke was/is my very best friend in the whole wide world. We met each other at a difficult time in my life. I had just suffered my first broken heart, I was in a town I didn't know, and I was all alone. I was depressed and near suicidal. She was just my lab partner, but she stepped up and took care of me. She brought me food, she made me shower, she tried to make me go to class. In the process, she became my best friend. She was my lifeline, she helped me decorate my first house, we played at the park on our lunch break, we got our nails done and tanned together, we got to know each others families, and we took the same classes.

And then last summer..... we broke up. She was in Maryland on an internship, and I was back here in Oklahoma. It was silly and stupid. I made her tell me what she thought about the guy I happened to be with at the time. She told me what she thought. I cried, and hung up the phone, and that was that. My best friend and I broke up over something so ridiculously stupid.

Over the past 4 months or so we have started communication again. Myspace messages, a mailed wedding invitation, texting.... and now I have my best friend back. I loved her the whole time, and I still claimed her as mine, but now it seems right again. Yesterday changed everything and now the hole where my right arm should be is filled once again.

And although she won't be in my wedding as I had envisioned all those years ago, she will be there with me in the audience, and I couldn't be happier.
