My best friend has been my best friend 46 years
A little lady who come in second but I love her no less has been my friend 40 yrs
Then next one has stood by me about 30 yrs
I have a few friends that I went to school with that still call me their friends ,but none like those 3
My very best and oldest friend passed away from cancer 3 yrs ago yesterday
and another mutual long time friend committed suicide when he found out he had cancer the year before that in February.
I lost many life long friends over the years that gave me shelter and food even cars when I needed transportation ,even when I was a drunken addict I wouldn't have trusted ,they did .
My Mom was not big on complimenting me (other than to call me her baby when I was in my 50's and I hated it )
But she said I was like Dad ,I could fix or build anything
And I always picked the best of friends ,she was amazed how I could pick loyal ,good hearted ,by you side to the death friends ,but I have a gift for it I guess.
To many when you start getting older leave this world before you do .
They say if you reach my age and you have 5 you know you can count on your blesses ,and I know I am
My friends are more like family than family ,and we are friends for life
Yea they do exist
I met a few from EP that have actually stopped in on a visit to Florida ,
That is really cool when you meet friends on line and they become friends in your real life too .
The lady I met must have liked me ,she came back last month and brought her husband too ,,now he and I are friends too ,
Yea Mom was right ,I do seem to have a nack for picking the best of friends ,
And for the record ,my online friends are real friends ,
When people can tell when your having a bad day by the things you write ,
Yea ,thats a real friend ,,and God bless them all ,I dearly love each and every one of them ,They know who they are
