Friends are not firetrucks - by Tina West

It's really easy to make a best friend if both hearts are open.

My first best friend was a gift from my parents. Angie and I were the same age and our parents were friends. The rest just happened!

My most precious friend lived down the road and we lived in the country and were in the same kindergarten class. I knew we were best friends when Bobbie named her doll "Tina". The rest just happened!

My craziest friend taught me to kiss using lip gloss and a pillow. How can you not be their best friend?

My most interesting friend gave me the gift of riding horses, playing in the "crick" and a canopy bed. The rest just happened!

My #4 all time funniest friend started over a boy. And after he got out of the way, a lifetime of love started as only sisters can share.

My #3 funniest friend started over one question. We were sitting in golf class, and she asked me to ask her if she was a firetruck. So I said, "Are you a firetruck?" and she replied, "No!" Enough said, hearts opened.

My #2 funniest and best friend I gave myself... Heather. She just gets me and I get her.

My favorite, life long, best friend is my sweet husband who will laugh with me and cry with me and thinks I'm beautiful. (fat, bald and all)

My best friend has become Jesus. Its not always been that way, but He busted my heart wide open and showed me more love than I ever deserved.

Hearts opened... Friends made!
