Friends

This morning I got a phone call from my friend Julie. We have been best friends since High School. We talked for two and a half hours--which we do often. So, during naptime today, the house was quiet and it gave me time to think. What would I do without my friends? I think about how much I really depend on my best friends. I have a lot of friends, but not too many would I call my BEST. Mist and I have been best friends for 11 years. What makes a friendship last that long? What makes me so lucky to have friends like that? I draw a lot of strength from my friends. They help me make it through the day. I know I can count on them any time, any day. I have relatives who really don't have friendships like I do. That's so sad to me. I feel like these women are my sisters. I just wasn't able to have them born into my actual family. I went to a website one day to look up friendship quotes and found several that I loved. But here is one that I love:

"I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me. I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way."

Here's to my Best friends. I love ya tons!!! Thanks for all you do for me.
