Do you know what I think makes the relationship/sisterhood I have with GS the greatest? We're comfortable and knowing. We both have these strange issues that are perfectly fine because we both are in the same boat. Not being ticklish is one of the strange ones. Our kids could be brothers if you put them side-by-side. Heck, we could be sisters side-by-side.

There is a comfort that comes with friendship and love where you don't even have to be together to enjoy each other's company. We can be sitting, silently, working puzzles and have the best time of our lives. Because we are together.

Now we aren't together, and it makes me sad again. I think there is a hole in my soul that only fills up when we're together. It truly is family.

The best thing I got out of my trip with GS is the sense of peace that comes from being around a good friend. You could be sitting around at home, at a pool, in the backyard, at an ER, wandering around a store or even napping on the couch - it all makes things feel right with the world.

Well, BG, LG and GS, I hope you have a fantastic time in 'Oh-Hi-ee' and I can't wait to hear the stories. Tell Eemaw I miss goofing off at her place and next time she's not going to get out of a game of billiards quite so easily as 'redirect the blond' :)

Love to the guys and let me know when you get back.
