The people we call friends

I am a blessed person especially when it comes to friends. I have quite a few true friends and I am glad to have known these people in my life. It's really amazing, I know it's really difficult to find true friends but I'm glad I have a handful of them. Some are really close to me while some I rarely see but it doesn't mean our friendship is less real nor is it unpure. My friends live with me and stays with me no matter where I go and I know, when I need someone, I can run to them and they'll accept me. I'm amazingly blessed and can't thank God enough.

I have this particular friend who I recently got acquainted with again. It's been over a decade since we parted ways and we only became friends for a couple of years or so, when we still haven't reached adolescence. What I find amazing with this friendship is that no matter how long we haven't seen each other we are both hoping that someday we'd cross paths again. I prayed for that day to come and finally, we were able to keep in touch once more. The friendship and the closeness we have now is just the same or greater than our bond then. But, back then we were absolutely inseparable... always together. And for over 15 years that we haven't seen and communicated with each other, the longing to find that other person just grew... much like a soulmate looking for the other half of her soul. Well, I don't know about soulmates, I feel like I have more than one soulmate in my life, people who are connected to me in the most intimate ways but nothing romantic. Come on, that would be just eekie! LOL And of course, there is my husband... I can't really say that the two of us are soulmates because we are such opposites but our love is what connects us and will keep us together forever. That's a different kind of love, something so strong that you can't help but feel whole.

Aside from my husband, my friends are very important to me. I can't help but thank God for all the friends He gave me and I know each of my friends are part of my life for different reasons. I appreciate each one. I may be a lot closer to 1 or 2, but in my heart I value each one and will always love them forever. :)
