I'm five hours behind CST. So, I always feel like I'm behind the times when it comes to news sharing.
My bffs live in two different time zones. One in MST and the other in CST. My Lulu, for the longest time thought that I was was six hours behind and affectionately gave me the nickname -6 and I gave her the nickname +6. Together, we make up the Zero sisters!
Lulu entered my life during a time of change. At that point in time, my ex-H had joined the Army and I was looking for support. I found that support on a forum called Army Wives. We "met" in 2004. She made many journeys with me, in spirit. From my solo trip from NC to MN with a toddler... to the pain and heartache of a dying marriage, through the death of my partner, through the new beginning in another state so far away from home, to the fateful decision in November 2008 and through the moving and combining of homes/lives here in Hawaii. My Lulu has been with me every step of the way. For that I am eternally grateful. The blessing of her love and friendship unconditionally has been, amazing.
We met in person in 2006. It was a long time in the making, but so worth the wait. And our friendship will stand the test of time.
To my Zero sister. I love you. And a big MAHALO for being there.
...tap tap tap...
Friends like that are few and far between. I'm happy you have someone like that. We all need a person that will stick with us through thick and thin...:)
