Once upon a time, two girls lived in the great big city of Chicago.

Every day they worked side by side and every night they dreamed. Their dream was to open a wine bar in a pretty part of town, work side by side, and live happily ever after.

Times change, and so do lives. One girl moved away to begin a new adventure in our nation’s capital. Soon, the other girl left, too.  This girl went way down south to a land of seersucker, and barbecue, and bless her heart, and y’all.

A few days ago, the two girls sat their babies side by side on a blanket in the sunshine.

They sipped their wine and watched those babies live happily ever after.
