In between the mass of heartbreak,pain,loss,hating,drama,crying,b
itching and lying that seems to happen constantly in tamworth a beautiful wedding took place and Mr and Mrs Mulligan were introduced to the world.
I saw Zoe go from the quiet little girl who i met the first day of high school orientation grow into the confident beautiful mother she is today.
The kid i laughed with,cried with and had nothing but good times with.
Some of the best memories i have of zo are the time i made her swear for the first time and she kept saying mother fucker.
When she was 7 months pregnant and used string to keep her pants up and had a cardboard car over her shoulders and walked up and down the driveway acting like a car.
When she made me touch her stomach and i was to scared to push hard so she slammed my fingers into her stomach and i felt baileys something.. still not sure what it was.
So many memories i could share with everyone but really the best memory i have happened recently and that was when zoe told me she would run away to california with me and we would get married ( after she admitted she loved that she had a friend that wasnt straight)..
This happened the night of her wedding.It made me realise that moments dont change people. Having a baby didnt change zoe,getting married didnt change zoe.It just made her a better person.
And as far as im concerned michael hasnt changed a bit either. He is still the funny sleazy guy he always has been, but these days he is dad and husband before anything else.
I love them together they make the perfect couple.
Bailey wore a little suit and danced with me and then made out with a balloon that had a face drawn on it. At 2 yrs old the kid breaks my heart.
Jess asked him to marry her and he laughed at her.
I love that little fella more then words can say.
Its a wierd feeling when I look at him and remember the 9 months that we played with zoes stomach and called him "jimmy" .
I remember the moment she told us she was pregnant and i knew from that day on id help her as much as i could and that meant being her body guard,personal assistant and most of all just her friend who didnt treat her any different.
Most days we wouldnt even talk about her being pregnant because to me she was the same zoe id always known.
I remember the first time i saw Bailey. He was a hairy little thing wrapped up in a little blanket and i had a little tear when i held him for the first time. That was my best mates son. Her little "jimmy" in the flesh.
Now when i see him he remembers the dance i taught him,He knows the importance of a courtesy laugh,He lets me help him put on his shoes,he shares my drinks..,He just is the most amazing thing ever really.
Times get tough and friends fight. But i can safely say that i will be friends with Mr and Mrs Mulligan for as long as i live. They are wonderful people and im just blessed to know them let alone be in their life and get to enjoy being around Bailey and seeing him grow.
I just hope they know how much they mean to me.
