Family really doesn't end with blood!

[dizzojay]

I've been out and about in London today with someone very special.

I know I talk mostly about my Supernatural-related friends on this journal, but I've spent today with one of my friends who has nothing whatsoever to do with Supernatural.

Jane and I come from the same part of London and have been aware of each other pretty much since birth (she's three months older than me).  We've been actual 'friends' since preschool.

That means our friendship has lasted about 45 years.  It's traversed primary school together, me moving away from the area, forging our separate careers, holidays together, big birthdays together, the death of both her parents, and her history of serious health problems. I was bridesmaid at her wedding, she was witness at mine.  And in all that time we have never had one single falling out!



We joke about being big sister and little sister, so I guess that makes us the living embodiment of the sentiment, 'Family don't end with blood'!

I didn't realise your friend was called Jane, too! She looks so familiar to me, have you posted her photo before? And is that Greenwich behind you?

I'm pleased you had a lovely day :))

I may well have posted something about her before here at my journal, I would Imagine that's where you've seen her. Having us both called Jane used to confuse the hell out of our parents when we played together :D
Yes, it is Greenwich, we took a riverboat down there - I haven't been down that way for years!

I love Greenwich, we used to go there a lot when we lived in London, and still go a couple of times a year. Hee hee, I can imagine the confusion caused by having two Janes!

She is another Jane, and that used to confuse heck out of my Mum and Dad when we were together :D
