Besties

"If you live to 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, 

so I never have to live without you." -Winnie the Pooh

They have been thick as thieves since they were two. He has an older sister, she has two older brothers and maybe that is why their friendship works so well. He gets her. She gets him. He protects her and helps her when she is in need. She orders him up ice cream when he gets flustered. He pushes her buttons just like a brother. She screams his name in the shrillest of voices like a demanding sister. On a playground filled with children they always find their way to one another. They talk, they laugh, they pretend, they run, they bicker, they love. The purest and truest love of two best friends.
