Forty-Nine Years Of Friendship And Love

💗Shaun and Shawn💗

My first besties (besides my sister).

My sister-friend.

My family.


Shawn and I have been friends since we were toddlers, almost five decades! She exemplifies the unconditional love and harmony I desire to see in the world. Y’all, Shawn is love.

Last night, we spent a few hours together. We hadn’t seen each other in almost two years, but it felt like we’d never been apart. I am so grateful and blessed that God placed us together.

Forever Shaun and Shawn.♥️♥️


**Here’s a small glimpse of God’s awesomeness in our relationship.

As you can see, we share the same first name. I was born in Mississippi. She was born in Chicago. Our mothers were never friends. We met through our grandparents. Here’s where the awesomeness comes in. Shawn was born between my sister and me—four months after me and almost a year before my sister. Well…guess what?! They share the same middle name. Shawn’s is Evette and my sister’s is Yvette. Again, our moms weren’t friends and didn’t even live in the same city. Y’all, we were destined to be together—a divine connection.☺️

I can’t say it enough, I love the way God loves me. I am truly blessed!🥰

My Besties

Not sure why it’s taken me forever to realize that my besties are my two hearts. When I think about my relationship with my actual friends (even my sisters), we can go days, even weeks without texting, and months without seeing each other. However, with my two, we talk everyday all day long. Maybe not verbally, but via texts… well, my daughter and I do. My son chimes in every now and then. He’d rather FaceTime. Now that they’re grown, they’ve become my best friends. I guess I’m their Mother-Friend.🙃 Thanking God for blessing me with friends I didn’t know I would need.

This is us. My daughter just left to head home. This is my first time feeling sad about her leaving. I wasn’t ready for her to go.😔

My hearts.♥️♥️
