Our Daily Prompt today:  BFF’s, What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from the person you’re the closest to?

One BFF?  One lesson? I can’t imagine there being just one, or a most important one–there have been SO many!  If I have to narrow it down, though, the lessons are these:

• Listen, listen, listen; and then, listen some more.
• Family first, always.
• To take care of older people with care, dignity, and compassion; you will be old someday and will hope for the same treatment.
• You can recover from difficult decisions and go on to live the life you dreamed of.

Important lessons, clearly.  Finally, though, after 50 years of living on this planet, I think I may have learned the most important one: I can be myself and be completely accepted by one other person.  Who taught me this lesson you might wonder?  My current and likely future BFF, my husband. 

Thank you to all of the BFF’s who (taught me) teach us to be better people.
