What is a friend? I think it is someone who really KNOWS you (and still talks to you anyway ... :0) Seriously, though ... I have been guilty on many occasions of being a less than desirable friend - and yet, I know some amazingly forgiving and gracious people who continue to bless me with their honesty, sincerity and trust. It makes me want to be a better friend ... A true friend is someone who is a witness to your life (maybe at different moments but over the long haul - they're still there ...) and you, in turn, are witness to theirs ...
A friend is someone you can share laughter, tears and all the rest of life's ups and downs with ... a friend means travelling life's paths TOGETHER (and sometimes together means just carrying that person's memory with you and acknowledging their presence in your heart ... knowing that they do the same :0)
A friend can be a family member; a mother, father, sister, brother, cousing, uncle, aunt, grandma, grandpa ... A friend can be someone that shares circumstances or geography ... a friend can be a boy or a girl ... or your dog or cat :0) A friend can be the best reason to keep a BLOG!!!
Friends come in all shapes and sizes, affinities and histories ... we have only to take a look around and we'll see them ... When we open ourselves up to friendship, we open ourselves up to grace and forgiveness (the offering and receiving of ...)
So ... here's to you all - my good friends that have spanned a lifetime! May you all be blessed to know that you have been a blessing to me :0)
