Life without a best friend is like an ice cream sandwich without roast beef.  Wait.  I think I am forgetting what an ice cream sandwich is.  A best friend is one of the most important relationships you can have.  It is the person who inspires you to giggle past your tears and walk towards the face of your fears.  The one who knows all the right things to say and when to say nothing at all.  Your best friend carries your secrets, whispers your worries, laughs into your eyes, and sees you for who you really are.

Of course with someone who you are that intimate with there will inevitably be tensions that arise, arguments that ensue, and resentments that get buried.  It is not always a smooth road to travel, and sometimes you have to take a break and find a detour.

But I think Munch found her best friend this weekend.  They played ring-around-the-rosie in bath, fought over dolls, and shared nummy num nums.  When she went to bed last night it was with Scarlet on her mind.
