Bie and Bu (written 8-26-08)

Tonight I FINALLY got my copy of an impromptu video Cathy and I made when she was here earlier this month. I still laughed as hard this time as I did when I saw it right after we did it. I do not have many close friends, who knows why, trust issues I think, but I would have to say that my sister Cathy is my best friend.

We are so much alike and so very different at the same time which may sound odd but that is how it is. One thing we can do is laugh. We laugh about everything, nothing is sacred. We can talk about anything and we don't always have the same thoughts but we can listen to each other and try to understand. We can share with each other, she is one of the few people I trust in the world. We have both had our share of lousy, dark crapola things happen in our lives and we can feel confident to share with each other.

She has a little more money than I do, I am generally broke. She is skinny and looks good in a bikini even in her forties, I am a chubby gramma that wears a modest, but stylish :0) suit. She is a comforter, I am courageous. She is in Colorado, I am in North Carolina. (big bummer). She tends to be a little on the insecure side at times, sometimes I can be too gung-ho-follow me boys!

Yep, we are different, but our hearts are the same. We both love life, color, music, nature, the OCEAN, our GRANDKIDS, and a many other delights of life. We love just being with each other.

Cathy, I love you and I thank-you for being my friend.

We are Bie and Bu.
