Friends Forever....Literally!There are so many great quotes about friends. But how many of us have a shortage of great friends? Or long-time friends? Friends that know you well and still love you. Friends that you know would be there, no matter what, no matter when.
I have such a friend that lives on the other side of the country (Arizona) but our relationship is not limited by distance, but nurtured by it. Our times together are short, but very meaningful. And well planned-out. Quality girl-time, if you know what I mean.
Ann and I met when we were 12 and in the 6th grade. If you do the math, that is more than 50 years ago. (Hard to believe when you look at this picture of 2 young chicks!). We went to school together in Clearfield, Pennsylvania and were great friends through junior high and high school. Then we parted ways in 1963 when we graduated. Ann went on to school (and now holds numerous degrees) and went on with her life. I got married and started a family and we lost track of each other for more than 20 years as our lives took very different turns. We reconnected at a class reunion and it was like we had never been apart. Our husbands became instant friends and we all became travel buddies. Ann and I have been to Hawaii 3 times, California, Vancouver BC, New Mexico and most of the Southwest, Florida, and have many more trips to come, I am sure. We both love art, music and especially DOGS!
If you are blessed to have such a friend, wonderful, if not...it may be time to make one!
