Dear Laney,
It's a good idea to find a friend who you would choose if God allowed you to pick a sibling. That way, the two of you will be able to share all the important stages in life together.
For example, this friend could take you out for your 21st birthday in college and make sure you get home okay. This is the kind of friend who will help you find a job when you find yourself in - say - Los Angeles, and you have no idea how you're going to pay your rent. Also, look for someone who could be in your wedding party, and then when you arrive at the hotel after the wedding in your pretty white dress and realize that you left your purse in the OTHER rental car and have no way to check into the hotel and you're dying of embarrassment in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Express, will gracefully pull out a credit card and handle it. A few years after that, this friend could come visit you and your new baby, then take you out for a cocktail and a day of shopping because you really need to get out of the house, and he'll agree with you that the music in the stores at the mall is WAY too loud, and what is with young people today?
Yeah, try and find someone like that. 'Cause I already found one and you can't have him.
Love,
Mom
