  Today i think about my best friend we met Jan.30,1978 3 days after i married and moved to memphis and we still remain friends today. We have been through so many things together we have seen alot of rough time from lost loves, broken marriages, death of a child , lost friendship but not forgotten.
Somehow through it all we would find each again and i thank god for that everyday. I do not know what i would have done without her in my life she is just like a sister to me. We were so young 17 when we met and i will never forget that day. And so much trouble did we get into. I look back on it now and laugh my ass off. We were so damn crazy. We loved to party, we drank a little or alot according to how you looked at it. We love to go to the bars and fuck with people, nothing like getting drunk and getting into a couple of fights.
Hell we enjoyed the hell out of it. Then we would go riding that fucking horse of hers( that didn't like me) son-of-a-bitch would through me off but i would get back on. We didn't do a lot of smoking or drugs but when we did it was halarious, going down winchester one night smoking a big one we took from my husband and i told her i just didn't understand why people gotso freaked out and lost when they smoked. All at once we looked up and we were lost going in a different direction than what we started out.
We were laughing so damn hard it was so fucking funny. We have had so many good times together and it has helped us through the bad times. Our lives have changed so much over the years. We both have children and grandchildren now we are growing old but at least we are growing old together. No one has ever stood by me as she has and I love her with all my heart. I do not believe there could ever be a friendship more true than we have together.
I will love you forever Janiece till the day i die. I know that day may not be far away and how we will handle that i do not know, for i am the selfish one so you know i hope i go first. Despite my love for you i know you are the stronger one and you will be ok because you have my family to help and remind you of me but i would have nothing, nothing at all but the memories of our wonder life together as best friends for life.
I am sorry i am so selfish about this one thing in our lives but that is how it is and how it will stay. so unless we die together i'm sorry i have to go first. For the truest friendship in the world i thank you and i will love you for eternity. YOUR BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD> JOYLEE
