Friends.....

Love is blind...

Friendship

closes its

eyes.

"Your friend is the woman who knows all about you, and still likes you." -

Elbert Hubard

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is

seldom known until it be lost." - Charles Caleb Colton

I arrived home today to find this beautiful basket of flowers and a

candle from my dear "Florida" friend. I never knew how to appreciate

all our little midnight trips and marathon phone calls until she moved.

I miss her.

I can tell her anything. She finishes my sentences. She knows all my

faults and loves me anyway. She remembers my youth and builds me

up while understanding what I had to endure.

She's better than any medicine or salve when I'm sick or blue.

I never enjoyed flowers any more than the ones I received this date.

But, even more rewarding was the long phone call afterward.

God blesses us with true friends......and I'm thankful.
