My Few

"There was a definite process by which one made people into friends, and it involved talking to them and listening to them for hours at a time." Rebecca West (1892-1983)

Over the span of my life I have met many many people, and well a lot of 'friends'. But there are very few of them that ever became a true friend in my eyes. I can count them on one hand. Not that the others have all done something to disprove themselves, it just takes a rare person, a special person to be a true friend. Abe, Nancy, Nikki, Michelle, and Vicki.... these are my favored few. But today I am focusing on one in particular... she will know who I am talking about here.

I met her almost 12 years ago while buying a car. I just knew within minutes she would be a friend. Not sure why, as honestly we are very different people. We have had A LOT of very good times, as well as seen each other through a lot of trying times as well. There is this understanding she has of me that few do, as she did not have any family connections growing up either. I mean she lived in a set family, unlike me, but it was made clear to her she was not a part of it. Which well I got a lot too through many of the families I lived with, how grateful we should be for what they had given us.

We have had our ups and downs, times we did not talk to each other, but something always came up when we needed the other. And even if we were in one of them moments we were not talking, the other was the first one we called upon. For we know the other will always be there, no matter. And well I can go on and on to make a point, the true point is that I am grateful to have such a gift in my life. And I just want her to know I love her :)
