People come in and out of lives all the time, it is only every once in awhile when a true friend comes in and stays. Sometimes it is for just a short while and some others are there a lot longer. No matter how long they hang around, they always seem to make a impact on your life and your life a little lighter.
I had the pleasure of talking to my long time friend on the phone the other night, as I sit here and blog I realize we have been friends for about 18 years....WOW!! 18 years is a long time, and we have been through a lot in those 18 years and still when we get the rare chance to talk, we pick up right where we left off. Though the content of our conversations have changed through out the years from cute boys, to is he the one, to I am getting married, to listen to what my kids have been doing. No matter what, there is still the love of laughing together, laughing at each other, laughing at ourselves, that makes our rare conversations such a treat.
Tonight Junebug is at a friends house, spending the night, and I can only hope that no matter what she chooses in life to become or the battles of life that she may endure, that she is as lucky as I have been, when it comes to friends.
A lot of my happiest memories have been when I have been with friends.
So if you are reading this and haven't made time for a friend, because YOU HAVE BEEN TOO BUSY.....Stop and make time to let them know how important they are to you! Life is short, there might not be a tomorrow to let them know.

is this post for me? because I was counting up how many years we have been friends and I came up with 18 years. weird, huh? You know that I love you so much and have been so glad to have you in my life. doesn't it seem like such a long time ago that our biggest worry was how many double plays we would make betwen first and second base and now it's babies and husbands and jobs and oh lordy we're the grown ups. how did we let this happen??
Well, duh, mamahenclucks.... it surely isn't me!
