Friendships

"Good friends care for each other, close friends understand each other, but true friends stay forever beyond words, beyond distance and beyond time."

Thanksgiving morning I wanted to send out a text to my close friends, letting them know how special they are in my life. By the time I sent it, I had sent it to 8 ladies who I consider to be my closest friends! 8 friends! That's crazy to me that I have 8 ladies in my life that I consider to be close friends. Friends that I can call day or night for any reasons. Friends who will cry with me or simply just listen as I unload. Friends who I can ask for advice or who will keep my confidence. Friends who will laugh with me (or at me) and who help me build lifelong memories.

They are not friends with whom I speak daily. In fact, one of them I usually only speak with once or twice a year. Sadly, they are not friends I see often. Three of them I am happy if I see them every couple years. But, when we see each other, we make the most of our time together. 

Each friendship is unique. Each friendship adds so much to my life. I am thankful for ALL of my friendships but I'm especially thankful that God blessed me with these 8 ladies to get through life with.
