Cherish a Friendship

I met with one of my friends for dinner last evening, whom I have not seen for 10 years. The reason that we did not see each other or make much of an attempt to reconnect was due to life's  circumstances

'life happens'
and now in our stages of life we have the time and energy to reconnect,  Wonderful - fantastic-

a reconnection of a truly good friend.  and how lucky we are ...

Friends are a necessary part of our lives. I think they somewhat shape the way that we become as a person. Most of the time we need friends for companionship, conversation, and laughter. Real virtue lies in the support that we get for our concerns, interests, ambitions and goals. Not many people take time to ponder the value and appreciation that good loyal friends provide to us.  Many folks take friendships for granted, until one finds themselves in need of support or perhaps losing a good friend to death or mental illness.

We form a bond with friends and they help move us along through the stages of life.
