Friends

Happy Friendship's Day!

Friends :) I identify with someone who said today that being an only child, my friendships have defined and completed me. This is true for me, not that I have many "true" friends. I have had friends all over the country, with Dad being in the Army and having travelled widely in the country. Yet, the lasting ones and the ones I cherish most, are few :)


Friends...came and went, some stayed for a while, and some forever. 
They all left a mark, some short-term, and others, lasting ones.


However today, when I stand and look back, I cherish the friendship I have with few special people...single digits to be precise. Why?? Because they were with me when I had no one, and they have been there to pick me up from the depths of despair every single time I tripped. And never have they said "I told you so". Ever.


What makes me happy today is that I know there are people out in this world, who I can bank on, and who shall vouch for me all the same. Very few, I agree, but nevertheless, they exist. And their existence is enough to make me smile on those days when the sun does not rise and shine for me. 


And today, I would want them to know that I love them with all my heart, and shall strive to be there for them all the way, in ways more than I could hope for, and that I cherish every single memory I have of them, and with them. Our bond is eternal. 


Love to all.
