This is a homage to all the people in my life with whom I have the best chats.

These are the people who make me feel sane again.

The people I can be honest with and who are honest with me.

I value our time so much.

The friends who understand the parenting challenges I have and share their own stories of truth.

The friends who love making stuff as much as I do and meet to talk about the highs and lows.

The friends who I have that special connection with where we talk all kinds of crap - that only we could.

The ones who make me laugh my arse off. I adore you.

The new friend who comes cold swimming with me - you balance me out as every morning we enter the water and squeal.

These people who save us with the funny, thoughtful, quirky, out there, honest, devilish things they share and hear from us are irreplaceable.

The toll of things in the world has stolen time from these wonderful people.

People have moved.

Routines have changed.

Demands have grown.

Children have grown.

For us all.

But we all know that given one moment.

One coffee date.

One what’s app chat.

Our chats will be immediate.

My sanity will be restored.

And I will definitely laugh my arse off.

This goes out to all my fabulous friends - whose wisdom, humour, honesty, realness and support make me utterly LOVE OUR CHATS.

Who are you thinking of as you read this - can you let them know you love your chats with them too today?
