“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”
~Unknown
Today, I dedicate this blog to great friends.
Friends are buds, pals, sisters, brothers and the person who loves your good days, endures your bad moods, and shares the laughter of your life. I believe in this world, everyone has a best friend, maybe two or three. Though some of us may not have had the good fortune to have met our best friend yet and occasionally, some of us haven't yet realized the best friend standing next to us. To the ones who have found their best friends, you have found the greatest gift (next to having children and true love) life has to offer.
I have such a friend, in fact, I have a couple of them. In a month, I will celebrate a 30 year friendship with my best friend. A while ago, someone ask me, "How do you keep a friendship for 30 years?" I laughed and told her, "the success of our friendship comes from the fact that we have never lived in the same city, or state since I become an adult." Thank goodness for unlimited calling minutes. She is older than I, only by a couple of years, but don't tell anyone… That's a 30 year secret and she reminds each year that I am catching up.
She (name withheld to protect the friendship) has been my friend for the longest period of time, and our friendship is truly golden. That said, I am fortunate to have more than one "best friend." Each from a different era of my life. Some of my best friends happen to be male and quite platonic, despite what Billy Crystal as Harry said in When Harry met Sally to Meg Ryan (Sally), "Men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way." This is not true, men and woman can be great and lifelong friends, without the sex part. I have such a friend, whom I served with many years ago and though much time has past, we are still best friends. He and I are friends "like peas and carrots", (thanks Tom Hanks). Very different to be sure, but best friends never the less…
So, here's to best friends, both known and yet to be found. Thank you for the memories we have shared and those yet to come, for the laughter that has made my cheeks hurt, the times we needed to lean on each other and the memories I will cherish a lifetime.
To Friends…
To whom will you extend the hand of friendship today?
