Friends

I got an email from a friend today. It said "2 Things" Don't you love emails? And Do you realise we have been friends for 28yrs plus? Wow! We all need to go back and look at our friends and realise how much they mean to us. I have one friend that has been my friend since Jr High school. (Now they call them Middle schools.)That is 54 years give or take. We still email each other to this day, and if i get to High Point where i grew up, we try to meet for a few hrs. Some times it is short but it means the world. We have been friends long enough for a couple of marriages, and divorces. Birth of our children, deaths of one or both parents. Hundreds of letters and even more emails. Happy times, sad times, lonely times, and so much more. We have many other friends and lots of people in our lives, but we have never stopped being friends with each other. What a blessing to have a friendship that lasts that long and still is going strong to this day and will continue until our deaths. As we get older we start losing the people we love because they too get older. We need to (to borrow the phrase) reach out and touch. Life is too short to not tell some one how much they mean to your life and you. So Judy i just want to let you know you are loved. And Twila thanks for reminding me how valuable your friendship is to me. So get out there and reach out to your friends, you will feel really good when you do. I wish you many friends.
