I Believe People Come Into Your Life For a Reason

Maybe not in a cosmic kind of way, but simply because we recognize or see something in them that we are longing for. It can be kindness, wisdom, humour, love or whatever else we are yearning to find and can see glimpses of in them.
Sometimes they fulfill that need and move on, sometimes we discover we were wrong and that glimpse was simply the glitter of fool's gold and then there are those magic times when we truly connect and they become lifelong friends, and you realize they came into your life to make it better, richer, warmer.
I have been blessed with such friendships, and I am thankful for all the warmth, caring, joy, smiles, support.... they have brought into my life
