    "Friends"

      It all started so innocently. We met as strangers, thrown together by fate. Some of you grew up with me, others I have only known a short while. Some of you I have hugged constantly over the years, and others I met at a time when hugging was 'un-cool', and it has stayed that way, though the times have changed around us. Some of you I have not yet met in person.

      Everyone of you has enriched my life. You have helped to teach me, to guide me on this often turning and forking road of life. You have been with me through the good times and the bad. You have comforted me when I cried, held me when I was afraid, and laughed with me when I was happy.

      And now we are in college. And though the distance between us is not great, and it is great enough. I am no longer afraid to reach out and hug you, in fact I long to do it.

      You had walked with me for so long that I was afraid to venture on alone. Yet even as I feared the dark of night, along came others to help me on my journey, in hopes that I would walk with them so they need not journey alone. They picked up where we left off, and now they are no longer strangers.

      Who are you? You might be my brother, my sister, my cousin, an old acquaintance or a new one. But first and foremost, I call you friend. And I miss you if you are away, and if you are here, then I thank you for standing by my side.

      And so I send you this, so that you might know that someone, somewhere, is thinking of you, praying for you, and loving you. And that person is me. May God grant you peace and happiness in your times of trial, and watch over you, so that one day we will meet again.

    It is by chance we met, by choice we became friends...

      Friendship is a strange thing. We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives...things we don't even share with our families who raised us. But what is a friend? A confidant? A lover? A fellow email junkie? A shoulder to cry on? An ear to listen? A heart to feel? A friend is all these things...and more.

      Whether we met IRL, over The World, over Resort, or SE, or anywhere ...I call you friend. A word so small...yet so large in feeling... a word filled with emotion. It is true great things come in small packages. Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed. It is a constant book always written...waiting to be read...and enjoyed. We may have our disagreements...we may argue...we may concern one another ...friendship is a unique bond that lasts through it all.

      A part of me is put into my friends...some it is my humor...some it is my listening ear...some it is real life experiences...some it is my romanticism...but with it all, it is friendship.

    Friendships forged
    are a construct stronger than steel
    built as a foundation
    necessary for life
    and necessary for love
    Friends
    you and me
    you brought another friend
    and then there we were 3
    we started our group
    Our circle of friends
    and like that circle
    there is no beginning or end
