When life falls apart, friends keep it together.
——"Miss You Already, 2015"
01
There is a kind of comedy called "He laughs and tells stories, but you cry", "Already "Starting to Miss You" is one of them.
Jess and Milly are two best friends. After Jess moved from the US to the UK, her classmates laughed at her American accent. Only Milly helped Jess to correct her accent. From then on, they talked about everything, embroidered and painted beards for the characters in "Wuthering Heights" together, experienced the first kiss of the opposite sex, witnessed each other's first taste of the forbidden fruit, witnessed each other's marriage and childbirth, and cried harder than her when mourning each other's relatives. The other person was in each photo until Milly was diagnosed with breast cancer.
There are good times and bad times in life. Happiness will not kiss you all the time. When you are unfortunate, I only hope that the person I love the most will be with me. For a woman, the person she loves the most may not be her husband or boyfriend, but she must have girlfriends.
Knowing that Milly has cancer, Jess accompanies Milly to chemotherapy, helps her choose a wig, removes medicine for her breast wound, helps her choose a fake breast bra, and keeps silent about the fact that she has finally become pregnant after years of hard work. Those who really understand will know that your happiness will only add a more tragic color to her misfortune. When she makes wayward demands on the doctor like a child, when she laughs at her bald head, when she says "I want you to see me cut my breasts", you know, all she needs is your company. You are her strong backing, her tender embrace, and the powerful force of her "fear nothing". You just need to cry with her, laugh with her, go crazy with her, and let her know that she will not die alone.
Due to the physical changes, a estrangement gradually developed between Milly and her husband. Her husband held a surprise birthday party for her, which caused Milly to break out of her long-suppressed pain and take Jess straight to Wuthering Heights overnight. Jess accidentally finds out that Milly is cheating, and Milly finally learns that Jess is pregnant. After the two quarreled, they cut off contact.
Milly's time is short. On the confession wall, she wrote "Before I die, I want to be fearless", but in the end, she is still afraid of not having Jess' company. My best and worst days are with you. You are the witness of my life, the bayonet and the fortress exclusively for me. The last days of my life, I just want you.
Milly finally broke the freezing point and took the initiative to find Jess; frankly to her husband about the mistakes she made; when Jess's little life was born, she was by her side the whole time; and then fell asleep quietly with Jess's sweet smile.
Jess walked out of the ward smiling. She tried to date a few new besties, but found that Milly was irreplaceable. Fortunately, she really stayed with her all her life, her whole life.
Prosperity dissipates and finally loneliness, bears the vain years. The whole world is full of longing for city-states, and there is no one else in the heart, but I hope that you will have a paradise after birth.
02The
friendship between women is rarely understood by men. For women, love is two souls and one person, and friendship is one soul and two people. "I can't live without life. I can't live without soul." Without love, my life is incomplete; without girlfriends, my soul will be missing. It is longer than love, more reliable than love, and never loses to time. It gave me the courage to face my loneliness and end my life, and it made me stop worrying about misfortune. From the moment she appeared in my life, our life's laughter and cursing were bound together. She appears so domineeringly at every important moment in your life, freely switching the roles of goddess and female nerve with you. Those moments, before they become the past, are already forgotten.
In Gaithersburg, United States, three best friends have become a legend among women's friendship.
Nancy, 85, lives with Barbara and Margaret, 75, who met more than 50 years ago.
Together, they bought a house with a big yard that could park three cars. They have all dated the opposite sex, but none of them plan to talk about marriage. In their opinion, the life of the three of them is colorful enough, with endless things to do and endless things to say. They know exactly what they need in life and what they don't need, living at their own pace and interests. Although the years have changed their faces, they have not shaken their friendship in the slightest.
They did a lot of romantic things together. Once, they took their friends to the airport and told the captain not to reveal the destination. To everyone's surprise, the plane took them to Barbara and Nancy's hometown, where they threw a cocktail party at their hometown resort and partyed with everyone.
After retiring, they sold the house and moved into the same retirement home together. Their bodies are not as good as before, and it is impossible to take good care of each other many times, but no matter what, they are still together and will always be together.
It's a friendship that truly beats time. Each of them has experienced boyfriends, separated and combined, gathered and scattered, and the last ones left are still best friends.

Most of our girlfriends don't live together. She is not your belonging, but as long as you speak, she will take care of you with "food and cover". She is not your happiness, but handed you into the hands of happiness. She is not a tree hole, but she can share with you secrets that you cannot tell your lover.
She accompanies you to cry, laugh with you, and make trouble with you, turning your worst days into your best. When you are happy, she helps you organize your wedding dress; when you are sick, you only want her to see you; when you succeed, you cannot do without her encouragement; when you are down, she will say: " I'll come to you right away!"
She knew the secrets in your heart and all your happiness and unhappiness. She is the one who can disturb you willfully when you have insomnia; she is the strange thing that you can bully but cannot let others bully. You don't need to pretend in front of her, you don't need to express yourself deliberately. Even if the whole world betrays you, you can find a snuggle in her arms.
A woman must have a best friend in her life. Everyone can find a new one, only she has no one to replace.
