The older I get the more I appreciate the significance of that word, FRIEND.
When your young and your world is so small, friends can easily be taken for granted. In your limited experience of what the world is all about, the preciousness of friendship has nothing to be compared to and like looking a velvet at night, you just can't see what it is you have.
But as I get older, I'm learning to see what magic it is to find people that for no other reason than just WHO THEY ARE, you love them. Who's very existence is a blessing to this world. People who as your peers make you smile. Not because of the indefinable bond of family, not because of fame or fortune, not because of beauty or desire.... just because of who they are, you love them.
I've been blessed with a handful of such people in my life but non more than my two favorite girls in all the world. One I see so rarely, but my love for her is no less. The other I speak to almost daily and I can't imagine my life without her. They are both very different but they do have some things in common.
They make me laugh, they make me proud, they make me believe that life can be beautiful.
For Dweenie and my Little Star.
