A chapter closing

There are five of us that make the group.  We call it Ladies' Night.  The first Thursday of every month we have dinner at one of our homes.  The host cooks the main meal with the remaining four of us bringing an appetizer, a side, a dessert and some sort of beverage.  Our husbands know they need to tread softly when messing with Ladies' Night.  We're neighbors, and we're friends.  We laugh. We talk.  We complain.  We realize.  We appreciate.  We keep it real.  We love.

We laugh at those around us and laugh at each other.

We talk about we we need to talk about. 

We complain about our families and our husbands.

We realize how lucky we are to have our families and our husbands.  Because really at the end of the day we don't have much to complain about.  But who doesn't need to vent and just be annoyed at times.  Who better to do that with than good girlfriends?!

We appreciate what we have with each other.

We keep each other real.  No big heads allowed in our group.  We tell it like it is.

We love.  This is probably the most important.  We have a love for each other.  For what each of us brings to our group.  Because one random group we are.

A chapter is closing.......

Three out of five of us have our houses for sale.  With a fourth eyeing a move pretty soon.  Before too long we won't be calling ourselves neighbors.  BUT we will always be friends!  We might not be living within a mile of each other but we'll a phone call, an email, a text, a long weekend apart.

A chapter is closing but my heart will always and forever have a special place for these ladies.
