A friendship through time...

Yesterday I finally called and went to visit a friend I hadn't seen in almost a year! The last time I saw her was at my wedding and that was, well... one year ago this weekend... I can't believe it has been so long. And I feel terrible that it was. But the wonderful thing was, that we hit it right off from where we left... it was like nothing had changed, even if so much in our life had in the past year. What a treasured friendship to have... the type where you can both be busy with life but still get right back on track where things left off... I have a few friends that are really like this and I treasure them so... I know how life can get busy, and I try to be the same type of friend back....

But I won't be leaving it another year between visits. Sam really has been a wonderful friend to me through the years... we were best friends in Yr 7, then drifted apart in highschool when we had different friends (although attended the same school), then we hooked up again a few years ago when we were both working at Target. Since then, I've had a child and now got married, she's been married and separated, and now we are both living with wonderful men and live a pretty blessed life each. Different, but still a lot in common... I love her to bits.

It makes me really think about friendships. The different types you have in your life, the different things you have in common with them. I have many friends from so many different areas of my life, and sometimes I find it overwhelming to keep up with them all. Sometimes I wish I only had a few friends, but then I would not know the many wonderful, talented and beautiful women I call my friends today. I guess I just have to make sure I spend quality time with all of them and value them all for the special things they bring to my life, because you all have a special place in my heart... and even if I don't see you as much as I'd like, I love you very much....
