Sometimes the best friendships in life are found in the friendships from the past...the ones formed in innocence and nutured in life's experiences. Recently I have been encouraged and strengthened by a 'best-friend'ship from my youth. She and I were inseperable when we were in junir high and high school; even through the initial year after high school - until life, distance and more life took us down different paths. This was back in days before cell phones and internet and the only affordable means of communication was an occassional letter across the miles. As with the way things happen, we lost touch and we lost the bond that we had when we promised to be best friends forever (BFF).
I've had a couple of 'best friends' over these past 25 years. Some that I couldn't imagine my life without until they were gone or faded away into their own lives and no longer needed me. I'm a firm believer that people come in and out our lives for different reasons - to add to who we are and in turn, take what you add to theirs. I would not be the ME I am today without each and every 'girlfriend' I had in my life.
Life came full circle not long ago and my BFF are back together. Its exciting to know there is 25 years of life that we have yet to discover about each other - and years of life to share together moving forward. The bond is still there...it's was never broken; only stretched to allow others in and life to happen.
Peace.
