At this age, I am sincerely grateful to have kept an enduring friendship with my childhood friends, Malyn and Monet—girls whom I had grown up with in high school and college. We had long christened our friendship “Tres Marias.” Now, in our midlife, it seems that we find more reasons to enjoy each other’s company over dinners, spa treatments and travels together.
Spending time with childhood friends is like re-living high school all over again. Every time, we simply talk about anything under the sun—our children’s lives, parenting issues, life dramas and even perimenopause woes.
