I wish to raise best friends
Those who will see each other through thick and thin
Those who won’t shy behind “what should be” and “how it should be”
But just be themselves in each other’s company
Those who will laugh at their parents’ expense
Bond over the same blood flowing in their veins
Can Talk about their dysfunctional family for hours
And will be on each other’s speed dials
The ones that will go through life together
And will be each other’s unabashed critics and loudest cheerleaders
With whom conversations about crushes and heart breaks will come easy
And so will, in abundance, leg pulling and teasing
Who may too fight and disagree and be disgruntled
But for whom life without each another will be untenable
Those that will truly understand each other
because they were together during the making years of one other
Pallavi, this is wonderful. My wife did some things wrong, but what we did right is teaching our children to be civil to one another and welcome each others’ friends into our home. Their laughter was the music of our home. Keith
