I have had a whole bunch of really great friends in my life... friends who I don't think I would have been able to live without!
Here are some of the best of the best that I remember...
C, L, T & J -- friends who accepted me for who I was, even when I was SUPER dorky and didn't even know how to do my hair or dress myself properly! LOL! Friends who made me do things that I wouldn't have normally done... both good and not so good! Friends who made junior high and high school liveable. Friends who will always be friends, even if we don't see eachother all the time!
A - Hmm... a friend who made me feel so special, every time we were together. Someone who encouraged me, lifted me up and helped me through some of the hardest, most difficult times in my life. A friend who stuck with my, from thousands of miles away. A friend who made me laugh, gave great hugs and spent so many hours on the phone, when I needed her the most! I wish we were still friends, I miss her SO much.
J - Oh my -- I've never had a friend like J before, and never since. She was my sanity, amidst of my crazy life situations. She knew how to have fun, and we had so much fun together. Endless days and nights of talking, praying and laughing -- did I mention laughing? J and I could laugh for hours, about nothing, and everything. I will NEVER forget the year we spent together and the trips and the days worth of phone calls inbetween it all. Man, I wish we were still super good friends!
A - When life happens you just need a great friend. That's how I feel about A -- it was perfect timing when we met, we have so much in common, it's crazy! Our lives have meshed together so nicely it's been a blast getting to know her over the past few years. A and I just "get" eachother -- we are so different, yet so passionate about the same things... I don't think I would have survived the past year and a half without her. I love her determination, her zest for life and her passion for being the best she can be... She has lived through some seriously crappy stuff and has come out stronger on the other side! I'm so honoured to be her friend!
S - Oh my -- if two people were meant to be friends, it's me and S. It's like we were made with the same mold sometimes. She encourages me to be the person Iwant to be. She has lived through so much stuff that I have gone through recently -- her wisdom and gentle advice is just perfect. I love her laugh, her smile and her ability to deal with what comes her way. She is a great Mom and a wonderful friend. I am so glad that our paths crossed and I hope they never "uncross!"
D - Hmm? Another painful one. I don't think I can do it right now. I miss this friend so much. I thought we'd be friends forever. This friend knows ALL my secrets and all my shortcomings. They everything about me, the good, the bad and the ugly. I feel lost somedays without them around. I wish... I wish!
Well, that didn't turn out like I thought it would. What is the point of this post you ask?
What would our lives be like if we didn't have any friends? Man, how boring it would be without someone to laugh with, cry with, celebrate with , encourage, build up, do crazy stuff with.... talk to...
I wish I had been a better friend thoughout my life. I know I have lost friendships because I was not the friend I should have been. I judged when I should have accepted. I was intolerant when I should have been forgiving. I was mean when I should have been kind. For that, I'm SORRY, so sorry!
I hope that I've learned from my mistakes and can be a better friend in my second 3 decades! I appreciate my friends SO much, I honestly don't know what I'd do without them.

"Friendships don't just happen,
but the best ones seem to fall into place
right from the start, naturally and easily
as if they were always meant to be!"
