Friendship....what a gift!

Today one of my best friends came to visit me from Maryland. She has many friends here and also family, so I realize what a big sacrifice it was for her to come and spend the night. I kept looking at her over dinner and at the store, I couldn't believe that she was really here! She moved away 2 years ago (which seems like forever) we talk over the phone quite a bit and email and write each other but...nothing compared to having her come here! What a treat!

I am amazed when you are with a good friend that you haven't been with or even talked to in a while, that you can seem to start where you left off. It's like you were never apart. We both cried when she went to bed, it was like we didn't want to waste any of the hours that we had together but....sleep was important, especially to her (she has a 3 hour time difference). Still I kept feeling like I just wanted to tell her one more thing, so that we could try to catch up for the past 2 years.

Now I need to get to bed, today has been a tough and painful day but....it wasn't all that bad, because I had the anticipation of my dear friend coming. When she came, I realized that even though I was in pain, that I felt better. Friendship...it is the BEST! Thanks to each of you for your friendship to me, it truly keeps me going!

Time come and flew by
What stayed behind will be
The imprint of your friendship
Engrave in my heart...

That makes me who I am today
The warmth of your friendship
Encouraging me to go on
When I am down...

Mold me to become...
More strong than I used to be
More aim than I dare to dream
More self respect than I ever paid to myself

I wish that I will be able to...
Give you the same thing as you gave me
I wish that our friendship would make
You realize that you will always there in my heart...

"Everyone hears what you say.
Friends listen to what you say.
Best friends listen to what you don't say."

"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each other everywhere"

I want to live to be a hundred plus one day, so I never have to live without you."
