Marc & I on one of our facetime calls
Today is National Bestfriend Day and so I thought I’d introduce you to my best friend. Meet Marc! Marc is the most amazing best friend a girl could ask for. When I tell people about Marc they usually give me a confused look because my best friend is a guy but truthfully I wouldn’t have it any other way.
This guy has stood by my side for the past 21 years…yup 21 fuckin years, crazy right? Through thick and thin, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part and even after that we’ll be together haunting the shit out of people! Hahaha! No, but honestly it’s the truth, especially the richer part, right Marc? lol! This guy has helped me through some pretty shitty times and I have done the same for him. I even remember driving out to Montreal to meet one of his girlfriends once…who later became his wife. Sabrina is the most kickass best friend in-law I could ever ask for. And we’ve even been there for each other’s weddings, major milestones and have also baptized each other’s kids.
My parents & I at Marc’s wedding
The only shit part about our relationship is that we live 6 hours away from each other…I’m here in Toronto and he’s in Montreal. We make up for it with tons of phone calls, facetime calls and annual visits. Whether Marc and his family come to visit here or we make the drive to see them we always make sure to see each other. I live for those trips because he’s my BFF and I love him to death. We usually spend our time acting stupid, watching funny YouTube videos (that we only think are funny) and having great conversations. He would even sit with me when I would have to bust out the breast pump to pump and just keep me company. Ya, that’s right he’s pretty awesome haha! I can call him up any time, day or night and he’ll pick up and I do the same for him. When we have exciting news to share we are always on the top of each other’s list when we are frustrated, sad or having a crap day we know that we can message each other or get on facetime and everything will be better.

Marc to me is more than my best friend, he’s my family…no for real…I think my family loves him more than they love me starting with my parents. My dad adored Marc and thought of him as a second son. I still remember when Marc drove to Toronto for my wedding and my parents refused to let him stay anywhere but our house. It’s even happened that Marc has vacationed with my parents, I shit you not! Yup, they were all in Miami once while I was back here in Toronto and the assholes would send me pictures of all the fun times they were having together! When my dad passed away, I was destroyed and it killed Marc too because my dad was like a dad to him as well. I’ll never forget standing in front of my father’s casket at the funeral home, 6 months pregnant balling my eyes out to turn my head and see him walk in. He took a flight out to come and say goodbye to my dad and be there for me.
Marc, I may not tell you every single time we talk but I love you and am so lucky and honoured to have you in my life. Thank you for making me laugh my ass off at all the stupid things you do, thank you for standing by me when times are shit, thank you for loving my kids like your own and thank you for being you! Happy National Bestfriend Day! Now let’s log on and play some Animal Crossing, it’s been a while or better yet if I leave now I can be there in the middle of the night so wait up for me! In the meantime here’s a little video for you to enjoy! Hahahaha!
