Our long time friends, really long, some forty plus years
came to visit yesterday.
We hadn’t seen them in a year or so. They came with strength
and resolve and memories to be with us as we process hospice and its eventual
conclusion.
Friendship does not matter how long ago it began or even if
it began just yesterday, it only matters in the love it shares, not in its
length of time.
Friendship is the ability to tolerate disagreements with
laughter.
It is acknowledging the grace of difference with respect and
courtesy.
It is an internal awareness that you have been together
before life began and a knowing that you will be together again and again
forever.
There is fragrance in friendship. There is a shared cadence
of the heart, both the heart within and the heart in spirit.
Friendship is the eternal proof that love exists beyond
family, choices and circumstance.
