saying goodbye to friends . . .

is a hard thing to do. i hate to admit but i recently became friends with four wonderful women: carrie, miranda, charlotte, and samantha. why am i sorry you ask? because these women are not real. they are from a tv show, they are from "sex and the city". i know, i know, the show and they are amoral and trashy. i really do know this, but i can't help myself. i love them. through six seasons i have laughed, gufawed, and been shocked by what they did, but i loved it. why did i love it? i loved it because they seemed to be real. their problems, their struggles, their friendship. the money they had and their lifestyle was totally hollywood, but who cares . . . they looked fabulous! i also loved this show because there was something in each woman that i could identify with. with carrie, i always loved her clothes. they were wild and crazy. i also loved her attitude. she had spunk and class. miranda was hilariously sarcastic. she told it like it was, but underneath was vulnerability and hope. when is comes to style and class though, charlotte out does them all. she was beautiful, but not perfect. and samantha . . . her passion in the bedroom and out of it was amazing. she was a go getter and didn't let anything get in her way. and now my friends are gone, only to be seen on dvd's (which are extremely expensive). i know i sound silly, but i don't care. this is my send off to my four friends. you were wonderful, witty, and honest. when the last episode played, i hadn't realized how attached to this show and these women i was. the flood gates opened and there was no holding back the tears that were there. so, see ya around ladies. and to quote an old irish saying that everyone has heard - "may the road rise to meet you". (i am not really sure what that means, but it sounds really good.)
