This week I have been thinking about friends a lot. Mostly what it means to be a friend and who my true friends are. I have come to the conclusion that in general, people tend to be inconsiderate of other people and therefore make crappy friends [please excuse the cynicism]. I miss my Carin and my Melissa more desperately than I realized. They are the friends who know too much about you to not be your friend, but you love them more than life anyway...so it works out. Good thing they will probably be around when I am old and gray, I will need them then too.
I got to spend time with Melissa yesterday. My exceptional boyfriend was tuned into the fact that I seriously needed Melissa time and broke our plans so that us girls could enjoy the mall by ourselves. :)
By the way, Melissa, if you are reading this- I think we should be "expecting one on Valentines day" the next weekend I am home, my finger is itching... What a malady!!!! HAHAHA.
The point is, there are probably only a couple people in this lifetime that will ever be your true friends, cherish them. As Michael W. Smith astutely notes, "And Friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them, and a friend will not say never , cause the welcome will not end....A lifetime's not too long to live as friends."
