A gaggle of giggling girls, that’s what we were.
That’s what we will always be.
Best friends our entire lives, beginning in the mid-1960s.
This year we turn 50.
Nearly 50 years of memories.
These are the girls who know me best.
My strengths, my weaknesses, my fears, my dreams.
They know my natural hair color.
