its amazing how the past can meet the present and be just as amazing as it was back then. old friends regain years lost between them. the last few days i have spent many hours talking with my oldest and dearest best friend. who knew after 6 years of living separate lives they would end up being almost one in the same again. as i look back over the years we had spent together its amazing that we even made it through as friends, but one thing always remained the same no matter what was going on in our lives and no matter what happened, we both knew that we were always going to be there for each other. that feeling hasn't changed after 6 years, we now live in different states have different lives, but i can always turn to her when i need someone to talk to, and she knows i am always here for her no matter the time or the distance. after all these years its as if nothing has changed between us! quotes to help us realize the true friends we have in our lives and the ones that only pretend to be our real friends.
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." ~anonymous
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~-Henri Nouwen
"We all lose friends.. we lose them in death, to distance and over time. But even though they may be lost, hope is not. The key is to keep them in your heart, and when the time is right, you can pick up the friendship right where you left off. Even the lost find their way home when you leave the light on." -Amy Marie Walz
