My Dear Friend Peanut Butter

Dear Peanut Butter:

It has been lovely this friendship we have built over the years. Shared little joys, sadness, broken hearts, or pure bliss.
We have grown to appreciate each other´s company. You are a great listener and comforter mind you. Those nights that I could not sleep because I had a nightmare, or had too much coffee or simply because my mind was going over the days business in a thoughtful manner, you kept me company. Or those other times I just had a crappy day in school and all I craved was your smoothness and sweetness to appease my broken soul. That one time when I ran over my neighbor and he bit me, oh the rage of being grounded, that specific day I needed your crunchyness because I felt so ill treated and felt my punishment was unjust, you were there to help me cope with my rage.Thank you!
Or that special time of my first kiss, when I was so confused and couldn't quite understand what the hell was happening you were there to calm my heart while I processed information, I had you with jelly because of the ambivalence of my feelings.
Oh my dear Peanut Butter with jelly, on banana, bread, crackers, cookies, by the spoon or on toast, how happy you have made me.
I have shared you with friends, family, boyfriends, kids and even with my old granny.
You never asked for anything but my happiness in return, oh how I wish everyone was like you.
To this day you are part of my pantry, even when in my busy day I kind of forget you are there, you sit and wait for me to need your comfort or your sweetness, or sometimes both, patiently, just quietly waiting. You have been my lunch, my snack, my dinner, my night sin, how awesome are we?
I am an adult now, and you are still my pal. The problems have change, the decisions are harder, the doubts at times consume me, but you, oh my faithful peanut butter, you are always there. Hopefully soon, you will be a part of my own kids life, and considering the facts, I am sure you will be their great friend. They will be acquainted with you ASAP, and it is my wish you can be just as much their friend as you have been mine. Comfort them, feed them, give them some pretty good needed protein and make them jolly boys and girls.
Oh my dear peanut butter I LOVE you!
I will be an old lady, but you sure as heck will find me, hiding in the pantry, scooping my dear Peanut Butter into my mouth...Oh the simple pleasures of life.
My dear Peanut Butter what would I do without you?????
