FRIENDS. Could I love them more?

"Those truly linked don't need correspondence. When they meet again after many years apart, Their friendship is as true as ever."

I love this quote. There are many people that have come in and out of my life...and I would like to think that no matter when or where if we were truly linked we would be friends again.
StacO and I have had our ups and downs in friendship, but there is no truer friend than someone who has known me for me for as many years as she has. StacO is on MY BAND WAGON...ok, THAT statement is funny on so many levels.

Kim and I have not had many "downs" in our friendship, yet she, like Stacey really knows me. In and out. Through all of the trials and tribulations that I have gone through in my life, Kim has been the one constant shoulder and friend. I love her for that. I love her "other side" thinking. Even if I don't want to hear it at the time. ;)

Reconnecting with others that have been in my life is something that has me thinking on a daily basis. It is heart warming to see these people, chat and think about how different our lives are now. Funny to sit around a bonefire with people from high school...seems it was just yesterday and that really NONE of us have changed a bit. YET there are these little people running around us calling us mom and dad. It is just so funny and so easy to be thrown back into that feeling of carefree living. Back when there wasn't anything more important in the world but being with friends. Now it is still pretty true that being with friends is still darn important, but now we all have lives, jobs and children. AMAZING. We can all seem so much the same yet our lives are so different now compared to then. It seriously makes me smile to sit back and think about all that is different and good now.

I have many new friends in my life as well...they are just as amazing. I think they do know me for me...and hell, they still love me. :) K and Chaz...you girls are amazing friends. I can trust that either one of you would be there when/if I needed you. I love that I can rely on you two just as easily as I can the friends I have had for years. You know I love you, even if it is said more frequently in a drunk dial. ;) there is another quote that makes me think of you two...I don't know it exactly, but it goes like this..... there is no other better friend than the one you can call at 4am. lmfao...Neither one of you answer, but I thank you for having voicemail to record my dumbass ;)

Anyway. FRIENDS RULE...and as confident and independent as I would like to think I am...I couldn't do any of it without my FRIENDS. So thanks. And to those who I have lost touch with...come back into my life and it will seem that time has not escaped us. *KISSES*
