First let me say; I do not have a dead body (that I am aware of) on the premises, nor have I ever had one. Please continue reading, this post is not as morbid as the title insinuates. I think you will be surprisingly pleased...
I was thinking today about friendships. I have been blessed with some very special friends over the years. There have been certain seasons in my life when just the right person has been placed in my path...and when that period has passed, the friendship fades just like the changing colors of the season. There are other friends, however, that are cemented into my life-true forever friends.
I totally believe in kindred spirits. I do not think "age" has to put an end to those long conversations that continue late into the night. The kind filled with girlish giggling and heartfelt dialogue; whether in person or on the phone with a bosom buddy. Women need those strong friendships, like the air we breathe. We need someone to raid the chocolate stash with when we are PMSing. We need someone that we can share our deepest secrets, hopes and dreams. Someone we can ask advice or turn to when a need comes up. Please do not think that I am suggesting that we take away from our marriage relationship. But, even my husband would agree that a "girlfriend" is a requirement for his sanity...
And the ultimate friendship would be-a dead body friend. I just recently heard this term and absolutely love it! A "dead body friend" is someone that you can call up in the middle of the night/early morning and say, "I've got a dead body at my house..." Without hesitation, no questions asked, this person will come running.
I will pause a second while you contemplate who you would call...
Hopefully most of us will never need help to dispose of a body, but we all need friends that we can call in a moment of crises. Someone who will get out of bed in the dead of night, drop everything in a heartbeat, or do whatever is required to lend a hand in a time of need.
What is a girl supposed to do with a dead body? Call her "dead body" friend!
I'm grateful that I have some very special dead body friends. I hope they realize that I would do the same for them as well. I am pretty sure that I will never have the need for body removal, but it is nice to know I have someone to call if a serious problem ever arises.
So, do you have a dead body friend? I pray you do! Why don't you let that person(s) know today...you don't necessarily have to mention the dead body part(lol)-just how much that special someone means to you.

I like this out look. It made me stop and think about my "dead body friend" and I called her just to let he know I was thankful for her.
I used to, but she is now the dead body. (how's that for morbid, lol) I misss her, but think I have another friend that I could call.
I wish I had one... I dont have many friends period, let alone one I can call a "dead body friend"
My best friend since kindergarten called me the other day to see if I would help her pop a painful pimple on her back. SURELY, if I can be called for THAT, I can be called to dispose of a dead body!
I GOT ONE!!!
Angela is my dead body friend and I am hers!
Great post-thanks for the smiles!
I totally have a dead body friend and more than once she has come to my rescue. Would you mind if I sent this journal entry to her? There are many time where we both say that we "know people" and that if anybody messes with either one of us or our children it's time to get out the shotgun and the shovel....... (not in any seriousness of course)
OMG too good!! Yes it took me about 33 years to get my DBF but that is sooo fitting.I will have to tell her about thos post it is a great perspective to have although we would never really do dispose of a body i hope!( well unless forced ) lol thanks for bringing a smile to my heart and reminding me what to be grateful for during a hard time!!
