Friends
I’ve never minced words when it comes to how much I love my family, that is for sure. They just dont come any better! But today, well, I want to talk about friends. I talk a lot (shush!), and you’d think I would have the ability to be more eloquent with what I say. I’m not. I’m just me. Just understand that I always speak from my heart, no matter how inept it comes out sounding!
See, many years ago, I crossed paths with some really wonderful people. In some cases, the time we shared was short- months, a year here and there. But we “clicked.” Life took its twists and turns, and I moved. A lot. From everywhere from (I’ll start at the age of 16, or this post will be entirely too long!) Texas, North Carolina, to Maryland, Louisiana, Mississippi, Louisiana (again), California, Portugal, California (again), Virginia and Maryland (again, and again, and again). In some cases, they moved :). Regardless. I digress. Again. life took over and time passed. Fast.
Recently, especially with the advent of my introduction to FaceBook, I have had the pleasure of reconnecting with those friends. You know what? Its like we never missed a beat. Like 20-30 years have not passed, like time stood still waiting for us to catch up. These friends, they are the kind that you just can’t live a full life without. (Re)Acceptance, warts and all, with n’ary the bat of an eye.
All of this is to say, I’m so glad we have this opportunity to reconnect, that geographical distance is nothing but an annoyance, and that we have new opportunities to share, now and in the future.
Thank you - for who you are, and who you’ve helped to make me. My life is much richer because you are in it!
