Raisinless
I got a card from my best friend today, which significantly cheered up my day. It would have cheered me up even more if she'd enclosed the pictures she'd intended to, but that's such a Raisin thing to do it made me laugh. (I don't think she ever remembers to attach attachments in email, either.) She'll be up here in less than two weeks and I actually think I'm more excited about that than Christmas at the moment. I haven't seen her since the wedding and that was just way way too long ago for my tastes.
I have a lot of friends, and a lot of good friends, and I know how incredibly lucky I am on that front. I hang out with Mama Bean and I laugh and am goofy and talk about everything in the universe. I hang out with Diana and am constantly amazed at how much we have in common. I sit around shooting the shit with Stus or Bear or Canoegirl or Foreman, and I always have a good time. But none of them are the Raisin. I'm never going to have another friend like her, and I hate the fact that we live further apart than is convenient for dropping in unannounced.
I miss you, Raisin. Hurry up, December 21st. My best friend is the best Christmas present I could possibly ask for.
