My Best Friends Couch

My best friend, Carissa, and I have been friends for over 10 years now. We have seen each other through many things good and bad over the years. She is so much more than a friend to me and even more than a sister she is my soulmate in friend form and I am forever grateful that she is a part of my life. There are many times that I can think of in my life that I may not have made it through had it not been for her. She is the absolute best friend that anyone could have and she would do anything at all for anyone. Since I have been married and especially since I have had kids there have been numerous times that I have literally run away to Carissa's couch (many times unannounced)....her couch is my safe, quiet place if you will. It doesn't matter if we talk (and we do!!! there is no subject or topic that is off limits for talk on Carissa's couch) or if we just sit there, there is something about her energy that recharges my batteries just by being around her. We are completely different in many ways, but she understands me better than anyone in this world. Lately our schedules are different and we are both busy with life and I don't get to see her as much as I would like, but I know that she is only a phone call away if I ever need anything and sometimes knowing that is just as good as sitting on her couch!
