I, like many of you out there, have BFFs. You know. Best Friends Forever. At least I certainly hope you do. Friends come and go. And I don't have to tell you that in order to have friends, you have to be a friend. Keeping friendships is an active participation event. You can't just go out, find a friend and not cultivate and nurture that friendship for otherwise it will die or fade away. I have been lucky enough to have six guys that I would consider my best friends. Guys that I would go the distance for and they would do the same for me. Some I met as a child, some later in life, but each and everyone of them has a special role that they play in my life. With one of them I had the good fortune to reacquaint myself with after many years of being apart. It was great! We never lost track of each other but we did lose touch and it was great to spend a few days with him and start that friendship up again. It was like we had never been apart.
It is my sincerest hope that my kids find best-friendships that can last a lifetime. And I hope that they are lucky enough to have more than just one best friend. They say that he who dies with the most toys wins. For me it is he who has the most friends can never die, because there is always someone else to make future plans with.
So here's to you guys... those I call my best buddies. Thanks for being along for the ride!
