 By Kaycee Nilson Apr. 17, 2006 The lives of my best friend Angela and I have been getting caught up for the past three weeks. Our lives are parallel except for our occupations. We both have boys that are 2 years apart. And our oldest daughters are 2 years apart. Everything is in common. Our favorite foods, our favorite music, everything is the same. Even in our ex-marriages are the same. We were both abused; our mothers disowned us both. We even had our ex’s fight with our loves of our lives. But the fights were not instigated by either one of us. Both of our lives are filled with charity works. Both of us are looking forward to our reunion. And both of us are getting in touch with the old gang that we hung out with. Our friend Ray called me on Easter Sunday and told me that we even sound alike on the phone. Even after all these years, we can be talking on the phone and we finish each other’s thoughts. It’s scary because we think alike, we talk alike, and our children act the same. We even curse the same. But to tell the truth, we have the same southern accents when we are on the phone to each other. It’s like we remind each of our southern heritage. But you get us off the phone and our southernisms goes to the background until you make us mad. Then the accents come out and we get spittin mad. The only difference we have is politics. She is conservative as I am liberal as can be. But our differences only balance our relationship out. We talk on the phone for hours on end, we chat to each other on the computer at nights to the point that our husbands are now feeling neglected. We both have the same tastes in clothing and we have both decided to diet together. It’s nice to know that someone is going through the same thing that you are going through. Even our husbands are similar. Shy as they can be and rarely angry. When both of our husbands are mad is when they yell. Normally both of our husbands are soft-spoken men. She is Catholic; I am about to enter the RCA program. We spent over two hours on the phone discussing the way she and her family left. She knew she had to cut ties because her family moved a lot. She knew the day she was leaving. At school that morning she broke up with Ray, she called me every name in the book and said that everything anyone ever said about me was true. That my dears, cut to the bone. We ended up crying together on that phone explaining to each other what we have been through before we have the lives we have now. So much that each of us have mirrored each other except for where we live now, and it doesn’t feel like 21 years has gone by. She still has the pretties soul of any friend I have had in my life, and she has been my sister when I needed one in High School. To know that in a few short months, I will get to hug my best friend that I haven’t seen in 21 years is enough to make me cry from happiness and especially since I got my Texas Road Map and Accommodations Guide! ------------ About the author: Kaycee Nilson has completed her first novel, "Night Falls on Chicago."
