Friendships are the most important things in the world. I have been very fortunate in life to have developed friendships that have stood the test of time. I'm not sure why, but there is something about seeing old friends and then just picking up where you left off. Time and distance do not seem to matter. The difference is that we are now older, I have lost more hair and there are a few more wrinkles and some greying has started.
However, a close friend reminded me that you don't necessarily have to talk all the time to each other but these friendships have to be a two way street. If only one person is doing all the work then it is not truly working the way it is suppose to.
Robert Hall once wrote "A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity. "
They don't necessarily have to be old friendships to be valued either. I like the thought of sitting down and be able to talk with a person and then time just slips away in a matter of minutes.........A true friend for me is one who expects nothing, judges not and is just a presence in your life.......
