I’ve Got Your Back

I’ve Got Your Back

by Cathy Windham

I was talking with a friend tonight driving back home. It’s always a good time to catch up and see how each others day has been and laugh a little, too. Besties can do that easily then go three weeks or much more without contact or feeling judged. Life. 

So the topic got on to what makes a great friend and who really “has your back?” Now we know what makes a great friend because we’ve been friends many years now. But, I can honestly tell you, we had long periods of time dealing with some very serious shit in our lives when we wanted to be there for each other and couldn’t for one reason or another. 

You miss them greatly but respect their space as they respect yours “It’ll all work out,” you tell yourself and it does. 

You give of yourself and your time. You’d give it again and again knowing they’ve got your back when it really matters. When you have to let loose and spill, 

you know they’ll wipe up the ugly tears and spilled drink. 

They’ll shelter you and and secrets you exposed. 

They’ll be vulnerable, too. When your bestie has your back. 

You know who you are....
