everyone needs a friend

so there is this girl, her name is kennedy. i have known her since 8th grade. we have always been friends, and over the years have often found ourselves throw together being shunned by everyone else. kennedy is the one who set me up with on of my ex boyfriends {scott} me and kennedy go way back basically. she is not perfect. she does things that drive me up the wall and such but everyone is that way. we always find ourselves going through extremely similar if not the exact same things. me and kennedy have been on and off friends...we have never been in a fight we just go through phases where we hang out a lot then not at all and so on. so one day, last month or so, i was at work and i got a call from her, that went like this

m: hello?
k: hey i was just a bekki's grave and i got a really strong impression to call you
m: ...oh thats weird
k: is everything ok?
m: {thinking to myself, when has anything been ok lately?} uhmm yeah im fine
k: are you sure?
m: *starts crying* nothing is okay
k: whats going on?
m: can we catch up over lunch sometime?
k: yeah just text me
m: k sounds good....and thanks for calling
k: i just really felt like i needed to call you
m: well i could use a friend right now
k: no kidding, me too
m: i gotta go, i will text you
k: k bye

and ever since then we've been on again. the nice thing about kennedy is we are seriously so alike, especially when it comes to boys and girl friends. we are just going through so much of the same stuff! i can tell her anything and she can relate me. its nice to have a girl friend again. and she is the friend i am going with to cali in 16 days! we both really need a girls trip. seriously kennedy has been such a blessing to me right now, she has let me pour my heart and soul out to her, she has truly been so great, i am so thankful for her, one sunday night she came and picked me up and we just drove for hours and hours talking and crying and it all lead back to bekki, and that day kennedy was at her grave and felt like she should call me. so we went and saw bekki and we KNEW bekki lead us together, that we needed each other, me and kennedy have been facing the same trials and we are trying to stick together and become the people we want to...and its so much easier to do that when you have someone who knows all the details, someone who can be your personal cheerleader, and all that good stuff. i know god hears our prayers. because i have been praying my heart out for a friend, for someone to care and understand me. and now i finally do. i love you kennedy, thanks for always being a good friend. 16 days and we will be in cali! i cant wait!
