My friends, my second family that I choose for myself


I was just thinking of my friends, what I love about them and their unique and diverse qualities, some friends share an interest in golf others like to share quality time for good food and gossip, some have been friends for a good part of a lifetime, others came on the scene a bit later.  One calls me her pretend sister and some are from a shared working experience in what seems another lifetime.  Some started as friends of friends, others as partners to my husband’s friends and all became my treasured, dependable, and excellent and bestest buddies.  Who could do without friends?

To my old friends, and to my new friends at The Open Door, I would like to share this poem on Friendship by Rachael Ellis:

When we first talked to each other
I knew we would always be friends.
Our friendship has kept on growing
And I’ll be there for you to the end.
 You listen when I have a problem
And help dry the tears from my face.
You take away my sorrow
And put happiness in its place.
We can’t forget the fun we’ve had
Laughing  ‘til our faces turn blue.
Talking of things only we find funny
People think we’re insane-if only they knew!
I guess this is my way of saying thanks
For catching me when I fall.
Thanks once again for being such a good friend
And being here with me through it all.
