Friendships!

Recently I connected with some friends from "back home"; it is strange when people use that phrase as they are not really going back and it is probably not their home anymore! Anyways, I digress.

These friends of mine now live on 3 continents. ‎Thanks to advancements in telecommunications, we are able to chat without incurring much cost to any of us!

The last time I sat with these 4 friends of mine was in 1995. When we all connected 2 months ago, it didn't feel like 18 and a half years‎ have flown by. As we caught up with each other's lives, I felt like no time has passed at all!

On a daily basis, I feel more or less my real age; however, when chatting with my friends, I feel very young. I am transported to a time when all I worried about was school and perhaps a little bit about boys :)

Talking of boys...I want my boys, especially ASid, to cherish this time they have; make friendships and enjoy them. I hope they do!

Some of us, like Craigley, have the same 2 friends we have had from when we were 5. Some of us make friendships at every stage of our lives. Personally, I believe every friendship I formed has helped me get through some stage in my life. ‎My friends have been my strength when I needed it the most.

Today and every day I can, I want to celebrate ‎my friendships. Thank you all for being there for me!
