This past week has been filled with amazing moments of friendship.
Where do I begin, to even put into words; as to what this friendship means to me?
We have been close friends since we were 3 years old.
A friendship that has grown, and matured for more than 53 years!
Playing as children together, going to kindergarden, school, high school. Always there for each other. Not always intensely close, but always available. We never lost sight of each other.
Careers came along, even worked together for a few years.
Partners entered our lives. Life choices made, new directions, and moving to another part of the world. But without fail...we stayed friends.
Close friends.
The rare type of friendship, that even after a period of time of not hearing or speaking with each other, within a heart beat, and a breath; we were connected, and back together again.
Continuing on, as if we had only spoke a few hours ago.
Honest, direct, comfortable and familiar. A safe place for both of us.
This past week has been a treasure given to me. Days of resting, re-visiting, and re-connecting with my friend.
As we said our goodbyes yesterday, I knew that today would be overpoweringly quiet. No more easy laughter, or half words said and understood.
We miss each other already. But both of us know....
we are always friends, and always will be.
Friendship...tried and true.
Me and you.
