My close friends are my family and my
family are my close friends. My closest friend I have known for over 30 years.
She is my friend but family. This friend has seen tears I don’t share with
others, heard my views on life and love and is always here for me. Our
friendship is one that is created in our hearts and no matter where we are in
the world. Our friendship is just as strong as if we are sitting next to each
other.
We weren’t always in touch for a few years
but when we reconnected it was as if we never lost touch. And that’s the type
of friendship I wish for all of you.
We always joke that when we are old, we
will be together sitting in our rocking chairs on the porch, talking about the
good old days. This mental image is comforting to me, humorous to me and
important because this is the friend I need and appreciate.
A true friend becomes family because you
allow them in to parts of your life not many know. Everyone needs to have at
least one friend who is family to you. This friend is one who you can trust
completely.
This friend of mine always has the right
words to say to me when I don’t feel like I am enough or doing enough. She is
always ruthlessly honest with me even when I don’t want to hear it but need to
hear it.
Do you have a friend like this?
Trustworthy and has time for you?
If you do, when last did you tell this
person that he/she is enough?
When last did you tell this person how
important he/she is to you?
How you appreciate them being like family
to you?
To my friend of 33 years, I love you, I
appreciate you and you will always be family to me. Thank you for being the ear
that listens, the hands that wipe my tears and the voice of reason.
To my friend of 33 years - YOU. ARE.
ENOUGH.
