While I was a carefree young adult I imagined friendships so deep we'd cancel a days plan to help, prepare meals in time of need, babysit one another's children, surprise the other with a 'date' to catch up or share a kindness, bring over groceries because of reasons they cannot shop, sit in silence because this is what the other needs....
At this stage in my life with lives experiencing tragedy, hectic schedules, growing families, distance and etc I have over my fair share of these friendships. A few are men while the others are women. I have known several over half of my life while the rest have grown more recently. To have this extension of love is a gift I am honored to know. I would have counted myself lucky to have one such friend. How did all of this love find me? I am humbled.
Even at 36 years of age we still find our gratitude.
