We have been doing this for almost 20 years now and each one is special and never the same. While it is nice to visit the beach and get away, this weekend is always so much more than that.<\/p>\n<p>The annual event has taken on a life of its own. We have many rituals and then there is always something new that I take away from it and this year was no different. We all look forward to it so much all year long. A few times there may be someone who can&#8217;t make it and someone new who goes along. This was one of the years a few people didn&#8217;t make it. My best friend just moved away and wasn&#8217;t able to come as well as my 2 daughters who have been coming for quite awhile. I needed space to figure out what all of this change meant and the girls gave me that time alone. But they were there when I needed them.<\/p>\n<p>We have a great time together. We eat, we drink, we shop (boy, do we shop) but more than that, we talk. Intimate stories\u00a0of our lives are shared and we are never afraid that this will be repeated. &#8220;What is said in Bethany, stays in Bethany&#8221;. All of us have gone through similar times, with the deaths of parents, divorces, family issues, children and grandchildren. We also talk of silly stuff and things I guess all women do, but we talk about things that matter to us. Someone will have gone through it and will have advice to give.<\/p>\n<p>We have shed a few tears over the years as well. One year in particular a friend couldn&#8217;t make the trip due to her Mother being very ill. We would call and text and send pictures so she felt as though she was there. At dinner one night she texted us that her Mother had passed. We made a toast to her and it was maybe the quietest dinner we ever had.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time though, we are laughing as we share stories on body issues and menopause and other female things that come up in the conversations. Seems like we never get away without at least one of the never ending stories of\u00a0someone&#8217;s poop problem (or lack thereof). On this recent trip I ran into one friend in the hallway and she had pulled up her shirt and was looking at her stomach. I stopped and asked her what she was doing. She said she had all these &#8220;things&#8221; on her body now. Skin tags, moles, sunspots, hard spots, you name it, with new ones coming on a daily basis. I was so happy!! I couldn&#8217;t believe it. I hugged her and told her I loved her and said, &#8220;thank you, I thought I was the only one that had these, you just made my day&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The support of this group of women is amazing. Most times you hear when women get together especially for a long period of time, they are gossipy, jealous and always trying to one up each other. Not these women. We support each other completely and know full well if needed, one if not all of them would be there.<\/p>\n<p>And so we all got up early Sunday morning to pack and hit the road for home once again. We hugged and made our annual\u00a0promise to get together more than once a year. I don&#8217;t know if any of us will or not but I do know one thing..should I ever need anyone for anything, these women are there for me.<\/p>\n<p>This makes me wonder&#8230;.I know men have get togethers. They go on golf, hunting, fishing trips together and I&#8217;m sure they have lots of fun. But do they share these kind of memories and stories with each other? I sure hope they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together on this roller coaster called life. &nbsp; &nbsp; I just returned from my annual &#8220;Girlfriends Weekend&#8221; in Bethany Beach.
