'She's easily become one of my best friends.'
weekend at a resort about an hour outside of town with a 22-year-old, a 6-year-old, and a 3-year-old.The 22-year-old has been in my life for well over a decade now. She tells people I'm her aunt, mostly because that's the least complicated way to explain our connection to those who don't already know it. But the truth is far more convoluted than that. Eleven years ago, I. The relationship didn't last long, only about six months before it fell apart.
He and I continued an off-and-on romance for about two years after, but any outside observer could have told you. We were terrible at communicating, both bringing our own damage into the relationship, and we just kept finding ways to hurt each other again and again. It was my first grownup relationship and I'm the first to admit I contributed to its implosion in about a million different ways.
Over the last few years, our relationship has changed in too many ways to count. I used to think of myself as something of a mentor to her. But now, with both of us raising kids around the same age, doing the single mother thing and relying on each other for support through that, she's easily becomeShe is smart and funny, honest and kind. She's an amazing mother to her daughter, and the best Auntie I could ask for for mine.
was actually our second annual getaway, choosing to celebrate single motherhood with breakfast in bed at a hotel, since our girls aren't quite yet ready to do anything special for us themselves.Eleven years ago, I never could have pictured things turning out the way they have, but I'm thankful every day for what our relationship has become.
I can't imagine it was ever easy for either of her parents to allow her to retain this connection with me, but I'll always be grateful to them that they did. And I'd like to think, all these years later, that they're grateful they did as well. That even if he and I were never meant to be, they see the good that resulted from allowing the two of us to remain close.
