Friends

When I was growing up I had a really great friend her name, Anna, we meet when I was seventeen and well we just clicked and became the best of friends. We hung out all the time we even worked together. We went to midnight mass one Christmas drunk as anything and now when I think of it I laugh my head off.
Well we lost contact when I joined Defence, on Monday (I think she sent it on Friday, yeah it was Friday..see what old age does to you :)) of this week well she emailed me, she found my profile on a web site and sent an email to see if it was me.

Well we have been catching up and it is just so great to remember times when you would laugh and drink and dance and have not a care in the world and the best part is, we had this time together.

She told me tonight she has had open heart surgery, that is a bit scary and she has been married twice and has two children. She is not happy in her marriage I hope she can sort it out.

You know when you have those friends that you can tell anything and you know that they will love you anyway..well she is like that. I outed myself to her tonight, she said she thought so anyway. I know that I would still do anything for her. She is so much like me in so many ways.

Tonight she told me that she thought I was always the confident one when we were growing up, but I always saw her as the strong confident one, it was funny to hear that we both thought the same thing about each other.

Gee I love my friend, I wish I could help her, she seems a little lost at the moment..hopefully she will visit and we can talk more.

Anyway I just had to say, there is nothing on this planet as wonderful as your friends..treat them kindly and look out for them.
