This is First Wife. I call her First Wife, as she also calls me First Wife. This is a somewhat inside joke from The Joy Luck Club. You know, when she says to always remember your mother was a First Wife, an only wife, or something like that. Not just a second substandard wife of sorts. To always remember your worth. Also, it is a nickname that comes from the fact that we see each other maybe more than I see my husband because of the teacher lives we lead. Last Friday FW and I sang at our school's talent show. Besides almost having a meltdown, I think we did okay. This girl, ahem, woman, is awesome. She moved far away from home to a town where she knew no one, lives on her own, made completely brand new friends, and she is a bad ass edumacator to boot. She is amazing. To echo something Rebel4ce said, I am surrounded by amazing people. FW is no exception. She will be there to be your shoulder to cry on, to procrastinate with, to witness your weaknesses and not judge you, to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I wish her that the positive energy and love that she sends out in the world be returned to her three fold this year. It's still early. There is still for this year to bear little to no resemblance to last year. Love you, FW! How deep is your love? I really need to know.
