Good friends …
I have friends that have been so for 40+++ years.
Many are like relatives. You get that way by just being there for them. I didn’t realize it until I really needed help or it was thought I needed help. The same people that went to your kids’ school shows or games, birthday parties, cook outs, parents’ funerals, watched their kids, picked them up when they dropped cars at the shop, fed their pets and many other things are like that. They’re like relatives.
It came up watching Everybody Loves Raymond.
The episode where his wife picks who he should marry if she dies. I was asked about Jane Doe, a long time neighbor, then single. I didn’t even think, just said, “Ewww.” “What? She’s great and gorgeous!” “Yeah, but she’s like a sister. She is a sister.” I said it so quick she realized it wasn’t to earn points.
Another significant event was a friend of mine with real, documented talent was a CEO in a giant company. A mutual friend asked him if he heard “Thatsright” is getting laid off over at Spacely Sprockets. He called me right away, “That’s, when you get your date call me, I’ll find a place for you.” “What?” “Heard you are on the list.” Turns out a guy close to Thatsright was on the list.
I am blessed to have many friends like these.
