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 families who raised us. But what is a friend? a confidant? a lover? a shoulder to cry on? an ear to listen? a heart to feel? A friend is all of these things and more. No matter where we met, no matter now long we've been together....
I call you friend. A word so small, yet so large in feeling, a world filled with emotion, a word overflowing with love. Truly great things come in small packages. Once the package of friendship has been opened it can never be closed. It is a constant book always waiting....waiting to be read.... and enjoyed.
We may have our disagreements.... we may have our disappointments.... we may argue.... we may concern one another....friendship is a unique bond that lasts through all tribulations.
A part of us goes into our friendships....our humor....our experiences....our tears. Friendships are foundations.....necessary for life....and love. Friends....you and me....You brought another friend and then there were three....we started a group....our circle of friends....there is no beginning there is no end.
Even though I don't speak to you all everyday....or even as often as I would like to....You have all crossed my path of life in one way or another....some of u I've only bumped into....some have walked awhile with me....and some of you 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 all....because if it wasn't for coming across all of you....who knows? I would be a completely different person....and.... well....I'm happy with how I've turned out so far.
