May you have that one friend.

That one friend who you can spend all day with and not get tired of. Truly.

That one friend who shows up at your house uninvited and knows she’s as welcome as if you’d had it planned for weeks.

​That one friend who loves & disciplines your child as her own.

​ That one friend who sings your praises, cheers your victories, and calls out your bullshit.

​That one friend who asks how you are and actually listens to the answer.

​That one friend who brings you a donut for no good reason. (She knows that donuts are their own good reason.)

​That one friend who is so different from you that it doesn’t make sense for you to be friends, but somehow it totally works.

​​That one friend who loves you in your pool hair & wet swimsuit as much as she does in your full makeup & prettiest dress.

​That one friend who you can ask to pray for you… and you know she actually does it. And vice versa.

​That one friend who sends you screenshots of funny memes that neither of you would dare repost online.

​That one friend who knows that a vent session will not be held against her.

That one friend who agrees that Taco Tuesdays should not be confined to only Tuesdays.

​That one friend who you can adventure with.

That one friend who you can lay on the couch with and watch hours of cooking shows full of recipes that you know neither of you will EVER make.

​That one friend who knows the reason you turned down a night out is because you have strict plans to wear sweat pants and do nothing at home by yourself. And she loves you anyway.

​That one friend who has got your back. For real.

​That one friend who qualifies as a sister.

​May you have that one friend.
