Friendship

FRIENDSHIP IS A STRANGE THING...

We find ourselves telling each other the deepest
details of our lives...things we don't even share with
our families.

But what is a friend? A confidant? A lover? A
shoulder to cry on? An ear to listen? A heart that
gives compassion?

A friend is all of these things and more. No matter
where we meet them nor no matter how long we've been
together...I call you a friend. A six letter word, yet
very descriptive in feeling, a word filled with
emotion, a word overflowing with richness.

Truly great things come in small packages. Once the
package of friendship has been opened, it
can never be closed, returned, nor exchanged. True and
real frienship can NEVER BE replaced.

It's a constant book always waiting to be read and
enjoyed. We may have our disappointments and we may
have our disagreements and we may even argue...but
this unique bond that we have will always last
throughout all the tribulations.

A part of each of us grows into our friendships, our
humor, our experiences, our laughter our tears.
Friendships are foundations necessary for life and
love.

Even though we can't always speak to one another
everyday as much as you or I would like to...you
are always in my thoughts and prayers.

You have crossed my path of life in some way or
another. Some of my friends I've only bumped into ...
and some have walked a while with me ... and some
will continue to walk with me but don't ever think
for a second that since we aren't in constant contact
that I don't think of you because if it wasn't for our
paths crossing...who knows?

I would probably be a completely different
person...and...so...I'm somewhat happy with how I've
turned out so far. ...Thanks 2 You...
