Friends

I spoke with a friend from college today. She is a strong woman that I have much deserving respect. We met my second year of college and have been friends for over 10 years. She is nearly 1800 miles away but never too far for a chat.

I appreciate the excitement in her voice when she hears mine. Recently we've both been living life and haven't spoken; today I decided to give her a shout. She always gives me a great big 'Hello!', even though its been months. It's amazing when time still passes and a conversation never seems distant.

I believe life has chosen for us to be distant friends, friends that will always make time to hear our happiness or sorrows but never judge if either has to get off the phone - abruptly.

It's forgiveness. It's trust. It's friendship.

It's not every day that we meet someone that will end up being our friend for life.

Sometimes...

Sometimes when I read her blog I cry...

Sometimes when I read her blog I cringe...

Somtimes when I read her blog I shed tears for her...

Sometimes when I read her blog I smile...

Sometimes when I read her blog I laugh...

and...

Sometimes when I read her blog I think, "I'm so lucky"...

...my favorite.
