I was planning on writing about something entirely different today, but then I read Mira Jacob’s lovely essay about female friendship and thought about my friend Julie and how much of a miracle it is that we’ve been friends pretty much since the day she was born. That’s an exaggeration, of course. Our moms were friends and pregnant at roughly the same time, but it doesn’t mean we were all that aware of each other at first. And it wasn’t until Grade 5, when we bonded over a teeny-bopper magazine with eighties icon Alyssa Milano on the cover, that we began our friendship in earnest.
