True Squad Goals: These Three Best Friends Just Celebrated Their 100th Birthdays Together
Forget Taylor Swift and her squad — this story of three BFFs is going to give you real friendship goals.
This past Saturday, June 18, lifelong friends Gladys Butler, Ruth Hammett, and Bernice Underwood celebrated turning 100 years old together.
According to The Washington Post, the trio were all born in either June or July of 1916, met as children and have been friends ever since. They even went on to have babies in the same year — 1933.
Friends and family marked the amazing celebration by throwing a party in their honor, where a fourth best friend — who sadly didn’t live to see her 100th birthday — was also celebrated, with a painting of her sitting with the birthday gals.
During the 90-minute ceremony, the women shared a half-hour video in which they discussed the ups and downs of their lives so far, and imparted some wisdom to the younger generation (better listen up!).
The celebration included personal pictures and memories of the three friends over the years. But possibly the most exciting moment came when a personal video message recorded by Oprah Winfrey was played. Oprah wished the trio “the grandest and greatest” birthday, and ended the whole thing with a “Hallelujah!”
